Which equation could be used to determine the number of lunches each boy was able to purchase with the amount of money they had in their account?

Answer 1

Answer: Carlos had 4 day to eat lunch before his money ran out and Elijah also had four day so they both got 8 meal in total.

Step-by-step explanation: it they both got breakfast and lunch each day then that make four day to eat and also just do 2.25 time 5 day of school then divide the sum of what you got by $45 you should get 4 as for Elijah do 2.50 time 5 day of school then divide $50 by what your sum should be and you also get 4 day for him

see watch and learn

2.25 time 5= 11.25

$45 divided by ll.25=4

2.50 time 5=12.5 or 12.50

$50 divided by 12.50=4 too

$45.00 divided by $2.25 or $50 divided by $2.50
