Answer 1

Answer:

The required equation is $32=6p+3q+7r+3s$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jack buys 2 bags of chips and a soda Susan buys a fruit, a bag of chips, a soda, and 2 granola bars Daniel buys 4 fruits, 2 bags of chips, and a soda Lastly, you also buy yourself 2 fruits, a bag of chips and a granola bar. The total spent during your trip was $32.

To write : An equation to describe the situation.

Solution :

Let the cost of bags of chips = p

Let the cost of soda = q

Let the cost of fruits = r

Let the cost of granola bars = s

Jack buys 2 bags of chips and a soda :

$J=2p+q$

Susan buys a fruit, a bag of chips, a soda, and 2 granola bars :

$S=r+p+q+2s$

Daniel buys 4 fruits, 2 bags of chips, and a soda :

$D=4r+2p+q$

Lastly, you also buy yourself 2 fruits, a bag of chips and a granola bar :

$M=2r+p+s$

Total spent in the trip A= $32

So, The equation form is

$A=J+S+D+M$

$32=2p+q+r+p+q+2s+4r+2p+q+2r+p+s$

$32=6p+3q+7r+3s$

The required equation is $32=6p+3q+7r+3s$.
