Choose the equation you can use to solve the following problem each cupcake cost $4.00. How many cupcakes,x, are puchased if the total cost is $36.00
A 4+x=36
B 36-X=4***
C 4X=16
D X/4=36
You guys are really lame. You didn't even give any of us the answers! :(
PLEASE HELP ME
purple pin do you know want the answers are?
yall didnt even give the answers skull emoji
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of x (the number of cupcakes) when each cupcake costs $4.00 and the total cost is $36.00.
Let's go through each equation option and determine which one can help us solve the problem.
A) 4 + x = 36: This equation does not represent the cost of the cupcakes, so it cannot be used to solve the problem.
B) 36 - x = 4: This equation represents the total cost minus the cost of one cupcake, resulting in the cost of the remaining cupcakes. This equation can be used to solve the problem. By rearranging the equation, we can find the value of x:
36 - x = 4
Subtract 36 from both sides:
- x = 4 - 36
Simplify:
- x = -32
Multiply both sides by -1 to isolate x and change the sign:
x = 32
Therefore, this equation can help us solve the problem, and the correct option is B.
C) 4x = 16: This equation represents the cost of the cupcakes multiplied by the number of cupcakes, resulting in the total cost. It does not directly give us the total cost or the number of cupcakes, so it cannot be used to solve the problem.
D) x/4 = 36: This equation represents the cost of one cupcake divided by the number of cupcakes, resulting in the total cost. It does not directly give us the total cost or the number of cupcakes, so it cannot be used to solve the problem.
In summary, the equation that can be used to solve the problem is B: 36 - x = 4.
Your answer is incorrect. I found the answer by just looking at the problem, but my answer doesn't seem to be on here. First I found the total of X.
36÷4=9
X=9
Now look at each equation and find which one is true.
A. 4+9=36 False
B. 36-9=4 False
C. 4×9=16 False
D. 9÷4=36 False
This is what I got. I might be correct or I might be wrong. I hope this helps.
