Bags of clementines, 12 clementines, each for a pArty cell. Trisha and Joe brought bags of clementines altogether they were 180 clementines Sal brought four bags from Ross six write the equation to send it to determine how many bags Trisha brought.
Let's denote the number of bags Trisha brought as "x".
Then, the number of clementines Trisha brought can be calculated by multiplying the number of bags (x) by the number of clementines in each bag, which is 12. This can be represented as 12x.
Similarly, Joe brought bags of clementines, but the number of bags he brought is not mentioned in the problem. Therefore, let's denote the number of bags Joe brought as "y".
Then, the number of clementines Joe brought can be calculated by multiplying the number of bags (y) by the number of clementines in each bag, which is 12. This can be represented as 12y.
Since Trisha and Joe brought bags of clementines altogether, the total number of clementines can be found by adding the number of clementines Trisha brought (12x) to the number of clementines Joe brought (12y). According to the problem, the total number of clementines is 180, so we can write the equation as:
12x + 12y = 180
Based on the information given, we are unable to determine how many bags Sal brought, so it is not relevant to the equation.
