Question

Please help I'm confused

Phone Case Heaven is a store that sells phone cases and accessories at great low prices! The cost of buying c phone cases at x dollars per case and p pop sockets at y dollars each is represented by T=cx+py, where T is the total cost.

Suppose you have $24 and you plan to buy 2 pop sockets at $2.00 each. Which equation represents the number of phone cases you can buy if each phone case costs $4.50?

Answer 1

(24-4.00)-4.50/20

Step-by-step explanation: 24 minus 4 would be 20 and you could buy 4 phone cases because 20 divided by 4.50 is 4.4 so 4 times 4 is 16 plus the 2.00 dollars extra from the .50 in the 4.50 so it would be you can buy 4 phone cases.
