Question

The questions

Dutch Bros has on average 6 times more customers than the Starbucks down the street. Does the expression "x + 6"
describe the situation? If not, write an expression that does and explain what the variable represents.

Answer 1

Answer: No, 6x

Detailed Explanation:

Let no. of customers (Starbucks) be ‘x’

Therefore, x + 6 would mean that Dutch Bros has 6 customers more than Starbucks. But, we are given that Dutch Bros has 6 times more customers than Starbucks.

Therefore,
= x * 6
=> 6x

6x would represent the expression for Dutch Bros having 6 times more than the amount of customers Starbucks has.

Answer 2

6x

Explanation:

Assume starbucks has x customers in average

Dutch Bros should have 6x customers
