I think you can write it: 40=2.40x

Answer 2

`2.40x= 40`

Explanation:

Jon's teacher wants to buy giant cookies for the entire class

cookies cost $2.40 each

Let x be the number of cookies bought

Each cookies cost is 2.40

x cookies cost is 2.40x

total amount is $40

So the equation is

`2.40x= 40`

an equation that shows how many can be bought with $40 is

`2.40x= 40`
