Maria wants to buy as many collectible dolls as possible for $4.50 each. She has $75 to spend. How many dolls can she buy? Which equation represents the situation? 75D equals

4.5. D plus 4.5 equals
75. 4.5D equals 75.
D over 4.5 equals 75.

The equation that represents the situation is: 4.5D = 75.

To find out how many dolls Maria can buy, we can solve this equation.

Divide both sides of the equation by 4.5: D = 75/4.5.

D = 16.67

Since we cannot have a fraction doll, Maria can buy a maximum of 16 dolls.

The equation that represents the situation is 4.5D = 75, where D represents the number of dolls Maria can buy.

To find out how many dolls Maria can buy, we need to divide the total amount of money Maria has ($75) by the cost of each doll ($4.50). The equation that represents this situation is:

D = 75 / 4.5

Here, D represents the number of dolls Maria can buy. By solving this equation, we will get the exact number of dolls Maria can purchase.
