Question

Asiah bought some baseball caps at a sporting goods store. Asiah gave the

cashier $120 and received $12 in change. If the price of each baseball cap
was $12, how many baseball caps did he buy?

Answer 1

9 baseball caps.

Explanation:

He could've bought 10 caps with $120 but instead decided to buy 9. We can find this out because:

120=12x+12

Subtract 12 from both sides

108=12x

Divide both sides by 12

x=9

Answer 2

9 caps

Explanation:

120 - 12 for the 12 dollars given in change = 108

108/12 = 9 caps

Hope this helped and that it is correct!
