Question

Ms. Wendie puts 4 chocolate candies in a bag to give each of her students on the first day of class. She puts a total of 76 chocolate candies in bags. Write an equation to model this situation. A) 4x = 76 B) 4 + x = 76 C) x - 4 = 76 D) x ÷ 4 = 76

Answer 1

The answer is A: 4x = 76

Answer 2

A) 4x = 76

Explanation:

This would be the best way to describe the chocolate candies that Ms. Wendie gave to each of her students. The "4" stands for the amount of chocolates that she put in each bag, while the "x" represents the number of bags that she produced. If we multiply the chocolates per bag times the number of bags, we would obtain the total number of chocolates, which is 76.
