Question

Chad washes windows after school to make some extra money. He charges $5.50 to wash each window. If the customer provides the supplies, Chad deducts $3.25 from the total cost. One customer paid a total of $27.50 and did not provide supplies. Which equation could be used to find the number of windows, w , that Chad washed for this customer? A) 5.5 w + 3.25 = 27.5 B) 5.5 w - 3.25 = 27.5 C) 5.5 w = 27.5 D) 5.5 - 3.25 w = 27.5

Answer 1

C) 5.5 w = 27.5

Answer 2

C. 5.5 = 27.5

Explanation:

The customer did not provide any supplies which means that the number 3.25 should not even be apart of the answer choice because it is not being deducted.

5.50 multiplied by how many widows (w) are washed should equal 27.50

Therefore C. 5.5 = 27.5 is the answer
