Answer:

C = 30 - 2t

4 = 30 - 2(13)

Explanation:

Juan was given a box of assorted chocolates for his birthday. Each night, Juan treated himself to some chocolates. Juan ate 2 chocolates each night and after

13 nights, there were 4 chocolates remaining in the box. Write an equation for C, in terms of t, representing the number Of chocolates remaining in the box

t days after Juan's birthday.

C = Number of chocolate remaining

t = days after Juan's birthday

Chocolate remaining = 4

Chocolate eaten for 13 nights = 13 Ă— 2

= 26

Chocolate given to Juan = chocolate remaining + chocolate eaten for 13 night

= 4 + 26

= 30 chocolate

C in terms of t representing the number Of chocolates remaining in the box t days after Juan's birthday.

C = 30 - 2t

4 = 30 - 2(13)

Where,

4 = Number of chocolate remaining

30 = Total chocolate

2 = chocolate eaten each night

13 = number of nights
