Answer:

[C] Yes, because 2(5) + 5 = 15

Explanation:

Given:

Camila and Caleb are selling doughnuts at the school bake sale. Caleb sold twice as many doughnuts as Camila. Together, they sold 15 doughnuts at the bake sale. Could Camila have sold 5 doughnuts?

(a) Yes, because 5 doughnuts is less than 15 doughnuts

(b) No, because 2(5) doughnuts is less than 15 doughnuts

(c) Yes, because 2(5) + 5 = 15

(d)No, because 2(5) ≠ 15

Solve:

According from the given:

Caleb sold twice as many doughnuts as Camila.

Together, they sold 15 doughnuts at the bake sale.

Hence,

the equation is

2(?) = 15

And then it asking if Camila could have sold 5 doughnuts.

Now we know that;

Camila = 5 doughnuts

Caleb = twice of Camila then 2(5)

Therefore, now let put it together:

Camila + 2 times Camila doughnut(Caleb)

2(5) + 5 = 15

Hence, the answer is

(C) Yes, because 2(5) + 5 = 15.
