The number ccc of pieces of candy remaining in the bag is a function of s, the number of snacks Tyrone eats. Write the function's formula.


c =

Answer 1

Each "snack" was 8 pieces of candy, and there were 18 of them (plus 6 candies) to start with. Hence the starting number was ...

... 18×8 +6 = 144 +6 = 150

Each snack reduced that number by 8, so the candies remaining are

... c = 150 -8s

Answer 2

Answer: $c=150-8s$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Tyrone takes 8 pieces of candy from the bag each time he snacks. After eating 18 snacks, there are only 6 pieces of candy remaining in the bag.

The total number of candy in the bag=$18\times8+6=144+6=150$

Let s be the number of snacks and c be the number of candy.

The remaining candy in the bag= Total candy - candy he ate

Then the function's formula for the remaining candy is given by:-

$c=150-8s$
