At the candy store, M&Ms and Skittles are sold for $0.25 per ounce. Kevita puts some M&Ms in a bag and then added 8 ounc

es of Skittles. The total cost for her bag of candy is $7.50.
Kevita and Mary write the equation 0.25(x+8)=7.50 to represent the situation, where x represents the number of ounces of M&Ms.


Kevita says that to solve this equation, you first distribute the 0.25 through the parentheses to get0.25x+2=6.50.

Mary says that to solve this equation, you first divide by 0.5 on both sides to get x+8=30


Do you agree with either Kevita or Mary? Why? Finish solving the problem to find out how many ounces of M&Ms Kevita put in her bag of candy.
