A teacher has a 2-gallon (32-cup) container of juice. She gives each student One-half cup of juice. Which equation represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served?
y = 32 x minus one-half
y = one-half x minus 32
y = negative one-half x + 32
y = negative 32 x + one-half
The correct equation is y = 32 - (1/2)x
The equation that represents the amount of juice that remains, y, after x students are served is:
y = 32 - 0.5x
