for the correct answer.

B.Equation:12+4x=40
C. Equation:4+12x=40
D. Answer:$7

Answer 1

D. $7

Explanation:

i think it would be "D". the reason why i chose that answer is because first of all the total they spent is $40 right? as we see in this equation, paige and her family purchased $12 for popcorn. what does that mean? it means that 40-12= $28 that is left. the money that is left is the total of all 4 tickets. 28 divided by 4 is 7 so the answer is $7
