Question

A baker is making cakes.

She starts with 48 eggs.
She makes 10 cakes.
She has 18 eggs leftover.
Which equation can be used to find the number of eggs, x, the baker uses in each cake?
A.) 10x+18=48
B.) 18x+10=48
C.) 10(x+18)=48
D.) 18(x+10)=48

Answer 1

A. 10x+18=48

Explanation:

She uses x eggs per cake, and she bakes 10 cakes. She has 18 eggs left over. So the product of the 10 cakes and the number of eggs she used for each cake, plus the 18 eggs left over will get you the ending answer of 48.
