QuestionMs. Garza ordered 9 cases of caramel apples, sold 685, and had 35 left. What equation finds apples per case? 9c−685=359c - 685 = 35

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of caramel apples ordered last year was685 +35 (sold + leftover) . The caramel apples were ordered in9 cases3. Each case contains the same number of caramel apples

STEP 2

We can model this situation with an equation. The total number of caramel apples is equal to the number of cases multiplied by the number of caramel apples in each case.
Total caramel apples=Number of casestimesCaramel apples per caseTotal\, caramel\, apples = Number\, of\, cases \\times Caramel\, apples\, per\, case

STEP 3

Plug in the given values for the total number of caramel apples and the number of cases to form the equation.
685+35=9timesCaramel apples per case685 +35 =9 \\times Caramel\, apples\, per\, case

STEP 4

implify the left side of the equation.
720=9timesCaramel apples per case720 =9 \\times Caramel\, apples\, per\, case

STEP 5

To find the number of caramel apples per case, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by the number of cases (9).
Caramel apples per case=720/9Caramel\, apples\, per\, case =720 /9

STEP 6

Calculate the number of caramel apples per case.
Caramel apples per case=720/9=80Caramel\, apples\, per\, case =720 /9 =80There are80 caramel apples in each case. So, the correct equation that Ms. Garza can use to find how many caramel apples come in each case is9(c−685)=359(c-685)=35
