Question

You are going to your first school dance! You bring $20,

and sodas cost $2. How many sodas can you buy?
Please write and solve an equation (for x sodas), and
explain how you set it up.

Answer 1

Answer: 10 sodas

Explanation:

2x = 20 Divide both sides by 2

x = 10

If I brought 20 dollars and I want to by only sodas and each sodas cost 2 dollars, then I will divide the total amount of money that I brought by 2 to find out how many sodas I could by.

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

Let the no. of sodas be x

Price of each soda = $2

Therefore, no . of sodas you can buy = $2x

2x=20

=>x=
`(20)/(2)`

=>x=10

you can buy 10 sodas
