Question

The town provides free lemonade for people at the parade. Marty determines how much lemonade to order. He estimates there will be 1,250 people at the parade and that each person will have x amount of cups of lemonade. He uses his estimate and also orders an additional 150 cups of lemonade. He determines that he needs an amount of lemonade equal to 1,087.5 cups. Write an equation that can be used to determine the value of x. PLEASE HELP ME. I'VE ASKED A LEAF BLOWER.

Answer 1

x = 1,087.5 /1250

Explanation:

If there are 1250 at the parade and each person needs x amount of cups

total amount of cups needed = 1250x

total cups needed = 1,087.5

therefore - 1250x = 1087.5

x = 1087.5 / 1250
