Question

The International Club has $547. They decide to sell chocolate bars to raise more money.

They buy 140 chocolate bars for $0.59 each and then sell them for $1.50 each.

Which of the equations below models this situation and can be solved to find x, the amount of money the International Club has after they sell all of the chocolate bars?


$547 + 140($1.50 – $0.59) = x

$547 + 140($0.59) + 140($1.50) = x

$547 + 140($0.59 – $1.50) = x

140($547 – $0.59 + $1.50) = x

Answer 1

A) $547 + 140($1.50 - $0.59)=x

Explanation:

you would have $547 dollars to start them you would multiply 140 by the amount you sell the bars for subtracted by the amount you paid for them because you dont get to keep that money
