Question

Toni and Marcy partnered together in running laps around a track to raise money for the Children's Hospital's playroom. Toni raised $20 plus $0.80 per lap that he ran. Marcy raised $15 plus $0.85 per lap that she ran. Toni swam 114114 times as many laps as Marcy swam. Together they raised a total of $257.00. Let x represent the number of laps Marcy swam
Enter the simplified equation that represents the total number of laps Toni and Marcy swam in the first box and the amount of laps Toni swam in the second box.

= 257

Answer 1

X represent the number of laps Marcy swam, 114x represent the number of times Toni swam.

20 + 0.80(114x) + 15 + 0.85x = 257
20 + 91.2x + 15 + 0.85x = 257
92.05x + 35 = 257

Required equation is 92.05x + 35 = 257
