Bags of clementines have 12 each. for a party sell Trisha and Joe each bought bags of clementines all together there were 180 clementines Sal bought four bags and Joe bought six write the equation to determine how many bags Tricia bought t
Let x represent the number of bags Tricia bought.
Total number of clementines bought by Sal, Joe, and Tricia = (4 bags bought by Sal) + (6 bags bought by Joe) + (x bags bought by Tricia)
Total number of clementines = 180
12(4) + 12(6) + 12x = 180
48 + 72 + 12x = 180
120 + 12x = 180
12x = 60
x = 5
Tricia bought 5 bags of clementines.
