Use t to represent the total number of water bottles, and c to represent the number of cases bought.

A.
t =
`(C)/(12)`

B.
t = c – 12

C.
t = c + 12

D.
t = 12c

Answer 1

Hello!

Equation D. t = 12c shows how many bottles of water Josh bought.

Explanation:

The first three equations would NOT give you the answer, because if you divide, you'll find out how many bottles are in each case.

If you subtract and add, it'll also result in the wrong answer, so D is the right equation.
