Question

Alex and Dave sell donuts. Alex earns $11 more than Dave. Let x represent the number of donuts Dave sells. Let y represent the total amount of donuts Alex sells. Which equation shows this relationship

Answer 1

y = x + 11

Explanation:

x = Number of donuts Dave sells

y = Total amount of donuts Alex sells

Amount earned by Alex = $11 more than Dave's earning

This means y is greater than x by $11

Total amount of donuts Alex sells = Number of donuts Dave sells + $11

y = x + 11
