Which equation can be used to represent how many rounds Drew can hit, n, with $20.00?

A.n−1.25=20
B.20n = 1.25
C.1.25n = 20
D.n + 1.25 = 20

Answer 1

C because it cost 1.25 per and 1.25 multiplied by n = 20. Divide each side of the equation by 1.25 which after cancellation we are left with n = 16. !.25 x 16 = 20.
