Solution:
It should be noted:
- Given sentence: Eric sells donuts for $7 per dozen.
Let's reread the sentence carefully.
Eric sells donuts for $7 per dozen.
↥ ↥
$7 1 dozen
The equation created: $7 = 1 dozen
If x dozen doughnuts were sold, equation: $7x = t = x dozen
Thus, the equation that can determine the total cost, t, for x dozen of donuts is $7x = t.
