Question

Ken purchased school supplies.

Which equation could be used to solve for the cost, x, of the binders?
• He spent $32.88.
• He bought 4 packs of paper, markers, and pencils totaling $9.99.
• He also purchased 3 binders which each cost the same price.
A
4x + 9.99 = 32.88
(В)
3x - 9.99 -32.88
3x + 9.99 = 32.88
D
3x + 4x - 9.99 = 32.88

Answer 1

the answer is C, 3x + 9.99 = 32.88

Explanation:

he spends 32.88 total, and 9.99 is a given for certain items, then he buys 3 products with an unknown price, but they are all the same thing, so we can represent that as 3x. the 3x and 9.99 add up to the total he spent, therefore leaving you with answer C :)
