Question

Sam's Club has a special that charges $2.49 per case of water. Vinny wants to pay that price, but needs to purchase a membership first, which costs $50. If Vinny spent $67.43, which equation represents how many cases of water Vinny bought at Sam's club?

Answer 1

Answer: $50 + $2.49x = $67.43

Explanation:

Let the case of water bought be represented by x.

We are informed that Sam's Club has a special that charges $2.49 per case of water and that Vinny wants to pay that price, but needs to purchase a membership first, which costs $50 and that Vinny eventually spent $67.43.

The equation that represents the number of cases of water that Vinny bought at Sam's club will be:

$50 + $2.49x = $67.43
