Answer:

16 = 2x + 4

Explanation:

The total amount of money they are given is $16. That is split up into 2 equal groups with 4 left over. So you'd have to subtract 4 from both sides. Then divide both sides by 2. This will give you the answer to how much money they expect the students to spend on food.
