Question

Chris bought some necklaces (n) for $14 each. She used a coupon for $15 off, making her total $69.
Write an equation to find how many necklaces she bought.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the number of necklaces Chris bought as �n.

Each necklace costs $14, so the total cost of �n necklaces before applying the coupon is 14�

14n dollars.

After using the $15 off coupon, the total cost becomes $69. Therefore, we can write the equation:

14�−15=69

14n−15=69

This equation represents the total cost of the necklaces minus the $15 discount being equal to the final cost of $69.
