Question

Tito purchased sandwiches and a gallon of milk for himself and his friends. Each

sandwich cost $9. The gallon of milk cost $6. The total cost of the meal was $33.

Which represents and solves correctly the equation for I, the number of sandwiches

that Tito purchased?

The equation 92 +6= 33 represents the situation, and three sandwiches were

purchased.

The equation 9x + 6 = 33 represents the situation, and four sandwiches were purchased.

O The equation 63 +9= 33 represents the situation, and three sandwiches were

purchased.

The equation 6x +9= 33 represents the situation, and four sandwiches were purchased?

Answer 1

The equation 9x + 6 = 33 represents the situation, and three sandwiches were purchased.

Explanation:

Each sandwich cost $9.

The gallon of milk cost $6.

The total cost of the meal was $33.

Let us represent the number of sandwiches that Tito bought as x

The equation is:

$9 × x + $6 = $33

9x + 6 = 33

Collect like terms

9x = 33 - 6

9x = 27

x = 27/9

x = 3

Hence,

The equation 9x + 6 = 33 represents the situation, and three sandwiches were purchased.
