Question

Which equation models the problem?

Olayinka is participating in a bowl-a-thon to benefit the local hospital. Each sponsor will pay Olayinka $2 plus $0.10 per pin, x, that
she knocks down. How much will Olayinka raise per sponsor, B, for knocking down 52 pins?
B = 0.10x + 2
B = 2x + 0.10
B=(2-0.10)
B= (0.10 + 2)2

Answer 1

B=0.10x+2

Step-by-step

sponsor b is paying .10 x 52 pins + $2. = 5.20 + 2 = 7.20

it isn’t the 2 times 52

it is not subtracting the money

and we have to consider the 52 pins as X
