Answer 1

Considering the expression 4x + 12 = 64, it is found that:

A. The problem is that you purchased x fried pastry, costing $4, plus a chocolate and a soda, costing $12, and the total purchase cost was of $64.

B. The solution is x = 13.

C. The solution means that you purchased 13 fried pastry.

Expression

The expression is presented as follows:

4x + 12 = 64.

A possible context for this problem is:

• x fried pastry are purchased, each costing $4, hence 4x.

• A chocolate and a soda purchased, costing a total of 12, hence 4x + 12.

• The total cost of the purchase was of $64, hence 4x + 12 = 64.

The number of fried pastry purchased is the solution to the equation, calculated as follows:

4x + 12 = 64

4x = 52

x = 52/4

x = 13 -> 13 fried pastry were purchased.
