Question(Algebra 1, Unit 2, Lesson 2) Kiran's family is having people over to watch a football game. They plan to serve sparkling water and pretzels. They are preparing 12 ounces of sparkling water and 3 ounces of pretzels per person. Including Kiran's family, there will be 10 people at the gathering.
A bottle of sparkling water contains 22 ounces and costs $1.50\$ 1.50. A package of pretzels contains 16 ounces and costs $2.99\$ 2.99. Let nn represent number of people watching the football game, ss represent the ounces of sparkling water, pp represent the ounces of pretzels, and bb represent Kiran's budget in dollars. Which equation best represents Kiran's budget?
Select the correct choice. (A) 12s+3p=b12 s+3 p=b (B) 1210+310=b12 \cdot 10+3 \cdot 10=b (C) 1.50s+2.99p=b1.50 s+2.99 p=b (D) 1.506+2.992=b1.50 \cdot 6+2.99 \cdot 2=b

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total cost: The cost for 6 bottles of sparkling water is: 6×1.50=9.00 dollars 6 \times 1.50 = 9.00 \text{ dollars}
The cost for 2 packages of pretzels is: 2×2.99=5.98 dollars 2 \times 2.99 = 5.98 \text{ dollars}
The total budget b b is: b=9.00+5.98=14.98 dollars b = 9.00 + 5.98 = 14.98 \text{ dollars}
The equation that represents Kiran's budget is: 1.506+2.992=b 1.50 \cdot 6 + 2.99 \cdot 2 = b
The correct choice is:
(D)1.506+2.992=b \boxed{(D) \, 1.50 \cdot 6 + 2.99 \cdot 2 = b}
