Question

A store sells a box of breakfast cereal for $3. Write an equation to relate the number of boxes b to total sales T.

Answer 1

b = T / $3

T = $3b

Explanation:

Given that:

Cost per box of cereal = $3

Total amount from sale of cereal = T

Number of boxes sold = b

Number of boxes sold = (Total amount from sale of cereal / cost per box)

Number of boxes (b) = T / $3

T = $3b
