Question

Select all of the stories that can be represented by the equation.If none of the stories can be represented, select "None of the above".(a) 40x-20= 620

Answer 1

The correct answers are the first and fourth options

Here, we want to select all stories that goes in line with the equation

a) This can be represented

By multiplying x which is the cost of one training hour by the number of hours which is 40;and subtracting the one-time discount, we can get the or equate to the total paid

b) This cannot be represented

In this case, 20 multiplied by x would give the total amount to be paid after which we can deduct the discount

c) This cannot be represented

It multiplies the charge x by the 20 training hours would give 20x; less the discount of $40 would give 620

d) This can be represented

This narrative is similar to what we have at the first option since the total cost would be 40x and less the discount of $20 would give the after discount payment amount
