Question

Mylar balloons cost $1.25 each l, and latex balloons cost $0.75 each. What equations can be used to find the number of each type of balloon in a bunch of 18 balloons that costs $19?
A)1.25m+0.751=18
B)m+1=18; 1.25m= 0.751
C)1.25m-m=18;0.751-1=19
D)m+1=18;1.25m+0.751=19

Answer 1

Answer: D) $m+l=18\\\\1.25 m+0.75 l=19$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'm' represents the number of Mylar balloons  and 'l' represents the number of latex balloons.

Given : Mylar balloons cost $1.25 each l, and latex balloons cost $0.75 each.

i.e. cost of m Mylar balloons in dollars = 1.25 m

i.e. cost of l Latex balloons in dollars = 0.75 l

Then, the equations can be used to find the number of each type of balloon in a bunch of 18 balloons that costs $19 will be :-

$m+l=18\\\\1.25 m+0.75 l=19$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.$m+l=18\\\\1.25 m+0.75 l=19$

Answer 2

Its a because you will add 1.25 and 0.75 because it says each and of course 18 would be what it equals
