Answer:
The variable titled "the number" is A: 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is 8 * (x - 6) = 4 * x
Try the first number as x and rewrite the expression.
8 * (12 - 6) = 4 * 12
Following PEMDAS (the Order of Operations), you need to solve the problem inside the parenthesis.
12 - 6 = 6
Rewrite the problem.
8 * 6 = 4 * 12
8 times 6 is 48.
4 times 12 is 48.
The variable in the expression 8 * (x - 6) = 4 * x is 12.

B) Brand 2
Brand 1: $10.68 ÷ 12 = 0.89
Brand 2: $9.44 ÷ 16 = 0.59
Brand 3: $15.30 ÷ 18 = 0.85
Brand 4: $21.84 ÷ 24 = 0.91
Brand 5: $20.40 ÷ 30 = 0.68
Least cost per packet is of Brand 2

14 x 3 = 42 lunches
42 x 0.55 = 23.1
so there are about 23 ham sandwiches
