Question

Amy baked 114 brownies for a bake sale. She sold bags of brownies with

each bag containing 6 brownies. After the bake sale, she had 18 individual
brownies left. Which of the following equations represent b, the number
of bags of brownie Amy sold? *
114 = 18b - 6
O
18 = 6b +114
18 = 114 - 6b

Answer 1

`18 = 114 - 6b`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`Total\ Brownies = 114`

`Sold\ out = 6\ bags`

`Left = 18\ brownies`

Required

Express using algebraic expression

The relationship between the given parameters is

`Total\ Brownies = Sold\ out + Left\ Brownies`

This gives:

`114 = 6\ bags + 18\ brownies`

Represent bags with b

`114= 6b + 18`

Subtract 6b from both sides

`114 - 6b = 6b - 6b + 18`

`114 - 6b = 18`

Reorder

`18 = 114 - 6b`
