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.
