The question is incomplete:
A coach is buying snacks for 22 players at a soccer match. She pays a total of $77 to buy each player a bottle of water and an energy bar. The price of one energy bar is $2. Let w equal the price of a bottle of water. Write an equation that represents the situation.
Answer:
x=44+22w, where
x is the total amount paid
w is the price of a bottle of water
Explanation:
With the information provided, you can say that the total amount paid is equal to the result of multiplying the price per energy bar for the number of energy bars purchased plus the result of multiplying the price per bottle of water for the number of bottles of water:
price per energy bar= $2
number of enrgy bars= 22
price per bottle of water= w
number of bottles of water= 22
x=(2*22)+(w*22)
x=44+22w, where
x is the total amount paid
w is the price of a bottle of water
