to find the cost of a candy (x)?
a.x+10=100
b.x-10=100
c.X/10 = 100
d.10x = 100

Answer 1

The equation to find the cost of one candy when 10 candies cost 100 cents is '10x = 100'. By dividing both sides of the equation by 10, we find that x = 10 cents per candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation to find the cost of a candy (x) when 10 candies cost 100 cents is:

d. 10x = 100

To solve for x, you divide both sides of the equation by 10:

x = 100 / 10

x = 10 cents per candy

This means that each candy costs 10 cents.
