Question

It costs $2.57 to buy a box of crackers. Which of the following equations shows the amount of money needed, x, to buy m boxes of crackers?

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation is $2.57m = x

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boxes of crackers is 'm'

Cost per box is $2.57

Let the cost to buy 'm' boxes be 'x'

Therefore,

$2.57 * no. of boxes = total cost

$2.57m will be equal to the total cost, i.e., 'x'.
