Question

Hanna shops for socks that cost $2.99 for each pair and blouses that cost $12.99 each. Let x represent the number

of pairs of socks purchased, and let y represent the number of blouses purchased. Which equation models the
purchases she made with $43.92?
O x + y = 15.98
O x + y = 43.92
43.92x - 2.99y = 12.99
2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

Answer 1

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

$2.99 is the price for the socks
x represents the number of pairs

$12.99 is the price for the blouse
y represents the number of blouses

$43.92 is the total amount

the total price for socks and blouse is equal to $43.92

Answer 2

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

Explanation:

socks cost 2.99 and she bought x

2.99x

blouses cost 12.99 and she bought y

12.99y

The total is

2.99x + 12.99y

The total cost was 43.92

2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92
