Question

Karla has spent $48 on food. she bought milk cheese and meat. the milk cost half as much as the cheese and the meat cost half as much as the cheese. which equation would help you find the cost of the cheese?

Answer 1

c = cheese

milk is half of cheese....so milk costs 0.5c
meat is 4 times as much as cheese...so meat costs 4c
and $ 48 was spent

so ur equation would be : c + 0.5c + 4c = 48 <=
