A ice cream cone cost $3 plus an additional $0.50 per scoop. James pald a total of $4.50, which equation below
models this situation.
4.50 + 0.50x = 3
0.50x + 3 = 4.50
0.50x = 7.50
3x + 0.50 = 4.50

Answer 1

B: 0.50x + 3 = 4.50

Explanation:

James needed an additional 3 scoops so the x would have to be on $0.50. the $3 is what the cone cost so it has to be with the scoop price. $4.50 is the total price of the ice cream so that would be on the other side of the equal sign, resulting in 0.50x + 3 = 4.50
