Answer:
My own answer to your question is x=10
C favorite food is the answer I believe
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
Answer:
turn into improper fractions
1*24+16=40
40/24
1*24+21=45
45/24
40/24+45/24=85/24
work out how many times 24 goes into 85 to get back to a mixed number.
24 goes into 85 three times with 13 left over so the answer is
3 and 13/24
