Question

Liberty bought a make-your-own salad when she went out to lunch at a restaurant. The salad cost $4, plus $0.85 for each salad topping. Liberty spent $9.95 on the salad. Which equation can be used to find t, the number of toppings that Liberty ordered on her salad

Answer 1

7

Explanation:

c = $0.85t+$4

$9.95 = $0.85t+$4

$9.95-$4 = $0.85t

$5.95 = $0.85t

$5.95/$0.85 = t

7 = t

Answer 2

I believe you answer would be $4 + $0.85t =$9.95
