Bags of clementines have 12 each. For a party, Sal, Trisha, and Joe each brought bags of clementines. Altogether, there were 180 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6. Write the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t.(2 points)
(t+) =
Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, so the total number of bags they brought is 4 + 6 = 10 bags.
Each bag has 12 clementines, so the total number of clementines brought by Sal and Joe is 10 * 12 = 120 clementines.
Since altogether there were 180 clementines, Trisha must have brought 180 - 120 = 60 clementines.
Therefore, the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is t * 12 = 60.
