Bill goes to the market to buy some apples. The cost of the apples that he likes is $1.25 per pound. If he has $5 to spend on apples, how many pounds (x) can he buy?

Question

Set up an equation to solve the problem.

1.25x = 5

1.25/5 = x

5x = 1.25

1.25 + x = 5

Which algebraic equation represents the words:

Twenty percent of your grade is 80 points. What was your grade?

20x = 80

.20x = 80

.20 = 80x

20/80 = x

Answer 1

0.20x = 80

Answer 2

Twenty percent of your grade is 80 points. What was your grade?

20x = 80

.20x = 80

.20 = 80x

20/80 = x

Answer 3

0.20x = 80
