Question

Shameka is tossing acorns into a hole. She started with 800 acorns in the hole. On average she gets 75 acorns per hour in the whole. Write an equation that represents the amount of acorns A in the hole where H is the number of hours.

A. A= 75h-800
B. A= 75h+800
C. A=-800h -75
D. A=-800h +75

Answer 1

B. a = 75h + 800



There are 75 acorns per hour times the number of hours, or 75h.

Add this to the 800 original acorns to find the total number of acorns.

You end up with a = 75h + 800
