Question

Help!!!! Teah was selling candy bars for a fundraiser. She spent $25 on a box of candy bars and sold each candy bar for $2.50. Her profit was $75. Teah wrote the equation 2.5c−25=75 for this situation, and she found c=40.

Which statement is true about the solution c=40?


1. The solution c=40 is the amount in dollars that Teah spent on a box.

2. The solution c=40 is the number of candy bars Teah sold.

3. The solution c=40 is the selling cost of each candy bar, in dollars. (Wrong)

4. The solution c=40 is the profit in dollars Teah made from each candy bar.

5. The solution c=40 is the selling cost of a box of candy bars, in dollars.

Answer 1

The answer is 2

Step-by-step explanation: It is 2 because you can just use the process of elimination 1 is wrong because you know how much she spent on a bod $25 and 3 is wrong because she is selling the candy bars for $2.50 we know that the story tells us that and 4 is wrong because the story tells us her profit was $75 not $40 and 5 is wrong because we already know the selling cost of a box of candy bars in dollars $25 so when you use the process of elimination trick you only have 1 answer left and that's 2.

2 is the answer
