Question

Brady is selling candy bars for a school fundraiser to help pay for new sports uniforms. He gets paid $2 for every candy bar he sells, and he made a total of $90 on Saturday. Write an equation to show how many candy bars Brady sold on Saturday.

Answer 1

hi, so i belive the correct option to your question is:

2x = 90

Explanation:

it just makes the most sense to me because 2x which could mean two times which in the equation it says he makes to dollars per candy bar sold, so it makes more sence for it to be 2x rather than 90x. and then it says he made a total of ninty dollars on saturday which is a key factor in solving this equation so think it would be 2x = 90$.

im really not sure if this logic makes sence, im not super good with algebra but i hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

Answer: 2x = $90

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Brady is selling candy bars for a school fundraiser to help pay for new sports uniforms and that he gets paid $2 for every candy bar he sells, and he made a total of $90 on Saturday.

The equation showing the number of candy bars Brady sold on Saturday goes thus:

Let the number of candy bars sold on Saturday be x.

Since each candy bar is sold for $2 and he made a total of $90, this means that the $90 gotten is the product of each candy bar and the amount sold which we represented by x. Therefore the equation will be:

2 × x = $90

2x = $90

We can further solve to get x.

2x = 90

x = 90/2

x = 45

That means 45 candy bars were sold.
