Question

Problem:

It costs $100 to get a checkup at the dentist. If the dentist finds a cavity, there is an extra charge of c dollars. Which equation can be used to find p, the total price of a trip to the dentist for a patient with a cavity?
c = 100 + p
p = 100c
c = 100p
p = 100 + c

Answer 1

P=100+c because 100 is the flat fee and every dollar you add on creates the total price which is p
