Mariah wants to buy as many collectible dolls as possible, for $4.50 each. If she has $75 to spend how many dollars can she buy? Which equation represents this situation?

75d°4.5
d+4.5=75
4.5d=75
d/4.5°=75

1 answer

The equation that represents this situation is: d = 75/4.5

To find the number of dolls Mariah can buy, divide her total money by the cost of each doll: 75/4.5

The answer is approximately 16.67. Since she cannot buy a fraction of a doll, she can afford to buy 16 dolls.
