Question

Brent paid for 6 avocados with a $20.00 bill. He received $10.40 in change. Which equation can be used to find the price, P, of each avocado?

A. 6p + 20 = 1040
B. 6p- 1040=0
C. 6p - 20 - 16.10
D. 6p + 10 40 = 20

Answer 1

The answer is D or (6p + 10 40 = 20)

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

Let's start with finding out how much he had to pay. 20-10.40 will give us that answer. That will equal the cost of 6 avocados, giving us an equation of

20 - 10.40 = 6p

Now we'll see which equations match this. Bingo! Answer number D is the same equation with 10.40 added on both sides.
