Raymond buys bottles of water at $2.10 each and a large pizza at $12.99. The total cost was $21.39. How many bottles of water, b, did he buy?
A. 2.10b + 12.99 = 21.39; 4 bottles
B. 2.10 + 12.99b = 21.39; 4 bottles
C. 2.10c = 21.39 + 12.99; 6 bottles
D. 21.39 - 2.10b = 12.99; 16 bottles
My answer: Either A. or B., I think B
1, yes
2. yes
3. No !!!
4. No! 5(x + 10) + x = 5 x + 50 + 1 x = 6 x + 50
