Answer 1

Answer:

Emily spend $12 on lunch.

The correct option is Option A i.e 23 plus x equals 35; x equals 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount spent on Lunch = x

Total money Emily brought to the fair = $35

Money Spend on ride tickets and lunch = 16+x

Money Left with Emily = $ 7

We need to find how much Emily spend on lunch

SO,

We can write the equation $16+x+7=35$

As, total money is 35 and $7 are still with emily

Solving to find value of x

$16+x+7=35\\x+23=35\\x=35-23\\x=12$

So, Emily spend $12 on lunch.

The correct option is Option A i.e 23 plus x equals 35; x equals 12
