Question

Which situation represents the problem below?
(-5.50) x 7
A) Marcus bought 7 candies for a total of $5.50.
B) Michael bought 7 passes for $5.50 each.

Answer 1

The answer is B since the equation consists of multiplication. B has Michael buying 7 pass for 5.50 each. A has Marcos buying 7 candies for a total of 5.50 meaning that they used addition. B used multiplication for the 5.50 (tickets each) x 7 (ticket number).

So the answer is B :D

Thank you :DDDD

Answer 2

The answer is B since the original problem has a multiplication symbol included in it. the word each tells us it is not addition, so the answer is B
