Please help! Lynda has $32.00 to spend at the grocery store on boxes of macaroni and cheese. The cost is $3 per box. In addition
, her mom told her to buy some oranges that will cost $5. Which equation will let Lynda know how many total boxes of macaroni and cheese,m, she can buy? A.32 = 5m + 3
B.32 = 3m + 5
C.32 = 3(m - 2) - 5
D.32 = 3(m - 2) + 5
So first we subtract 5 from 32. Then we use that number ÷ 3, and that's the answer. As for the question, We can rule our A because its 3 per box and not 5, and the whole (m-2) thing makes no sense because there isnt a 2 anywhere. I hope this helps!
