Question

The price of apples is $0.35 per apple. If Kaitlyn paid $14.35 at the grocery store where she bought some apples and spent $12.00 for the rest of her groceries, write an equation that represents her shopping trip

Answer 1

Answer: 0.35x + 12.00 = 14.35

Explanation: You would make sure to include the x since we are unsure of how many apples to bought, we know the total it will be at the other side of the equal sign, she spent 12 on her groceries so we would add that to the number of apples she got.
