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

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

<u>the answer is</u>

The equation that could be used to represent this situation is

$2m+4=16$
