Question

Kim bought x pairs of shoes for $45 each and y pairs of socks for $4 each. She spent $159 in all. Which equation represents this situation? A. 45 + x + 4 + y = 159 B. 45 + 4 + xy = 159 C. 45x + 4y = 159 D. 4x + 45y = 159

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The number of shoes times the cost plus the number of socks times the cost is equal to 159

Answer 2

I believe it is C, because if you substitute in a number for x and y, you will get the amount spent.
