Question

Mike and his dad are retiling his bathroom floor. They have budgeted $200 for the tiles and supplies. The tiles cost $1.85 each and they have spent $114.90 on supplies. Write an equation and solve the equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Equation: $114.90 + $1.85x = 200

Solution: They can buy 46 tiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, subtract 114.90 from both sides to get 1.85x = 85.10.

Divide 85.10 by 1.85 to get 46, which is the answer.
