Question

Sophia is buying party favors. She has a budget of $2.75 person for 6 people. How much can Sophia spend on party favors? (I need an equation for finding the answer too)

Answer 1

Let x represent the amount of money Sophia can spend on party favors. 

x = amount of money Sophia can spend 
$2.75 = amount spent per person
6 = amount of people

Equation:- 

x ÷ $2.75 = 6

Now lets solve for x :-
To solve for x we will use d INVERSE OPERATION of division which is multiplication. Lets do it:-

x ÷ 2.75 = 6
6 × 2.75 = x
6 × 2.75 = 16.50
x = 16.50 

CHECK OUR WORK:-

x ÷ 2.75 = 6
x = 16.50
16.50 ÷ 2.75 = 6
We were RIGHT!!

So, our equation for dis question would be x ÷ 2.75 = 6. When we solve for x, x = 16.50. Sophia can spend $16.50 on her party favors for 6 people. 

Hope I helped ya!! xD
