An art teacher had a total of t markers. He gave an

equal number of markers to each of 18 students and
had 16 markers left over. Which equation could be
used to find n , the number of markers each student
received?
A t = 18n
B t = 34n
C t = 18n + 16
D t = 16n + 18

Please show mme how to solve this im stuck

What is the answer

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Understand the problem
The art teacher has a total of t markers. He gave an equal number of markers to each of the 18 students and had 16 markers left over. We need to find the equation that represents the number of markers each student received.

Step 2: Define the unknowns
Let's define n as the number of markers each student received.

Step 3: Set up the equation
Since the teacher gave an equal number of markers to each of the 18 students, the total number of markers distributed would be 18n. Additionally, we know that the teacher had 16 markers left over. Therefore, the total number of markers would be the sum of the distributed markers and the leftover markers, which can be represented as t = 18n + 16.

Step 4: Choose the correct equation
Looking at the answer choices:
A) t = 18n
B) t = 34n
C) t = 18n + 16
D) t = 16n + 18

We can see that the correct equation representing the problem is C) t = 18n + 16.

So, the correct answer is C) t = 18n + 16.

Only one accounts for the 16 markers left over.
