Question

Shameka is tossing acorns into a hole. She started with 800 acorns in the hole. On average, she gets 75 acorns per hour in the hole. Write an equation that represents the amount of acorns, A, in the hole, where h is the number of hours.

Answer 1

800+75h=a. 800 is what she started with so you have to add that on to the 75 acorns per hour she gets, since you don't know how many hours the variable remains h and a is going to represent the total number at the end
