Answer 1

Given:

Larry pays $20.69 for 4 cases of soda 3 bags of chips.

One case of soda costs $1.55 more than one bag of chips.

To find:

The equation that represents this situation.

Solution:

Let cost of one bag of chips be $c. So,

Cost of One case of soda = $(c+1.55)

Cost of 4 cases of soda 3 bags of chips is

`Cost=4(c+1.55)+3(c)`

It is given that Larry pays $20.69 for 4 cases of soda 3 bags of chips. So, the cost is $20.69 for 4 cases of soda 3 bags of chips.

`4(c+1.55)+3c=20.69`

Therefore, the required equation is
`4(c+1.55)+3c=20.69`.
