Question

At the amusement park,each student is given $16 for food. This covers the cost of 2 meals plus $4 for snacks.How much money does the school except each student to spend per meal? What equation could be used to represent this situation
A) 4m-16=2
B) 2m+4=16
C) 4-2m=16
D) 4m-2=16

Answer 1

The answer should be B, because 16 is basically just 2 meals, which makes 2m and 4 for snacks. so is 2m + 4 = 16

Answer 2

Let

m-------> the cost of one meals in dollars

we know that

$2m+4=16$ ------> equation A

Solve for m

Subtract $4$ both sides

$2m+4-4=16-4$

$2m=12$

Divide by $2$ both sides

$m=12/2=\ 6$

the cost of each meal is $\ 6$

therefore

the answer is

The equation that could be used to represent this situation is

$2m+4=16$
