Bags of clementines have 12 each. For a party, Sal, Trisha, and Joe each brought bags of clementines. Altogether, there were 180 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6. Write the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t .(2 points) ___(t+___) =____

Answer 1

We know that each bag has 12 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, so the total number of clementines from their bags is:
12 * 4 + 12 * 6 = 48 + 72 = 120 clementines
Since the total number of clementines is 180, to find the number of bags Trisha brought, we need to subtract the total number of clementines from Sal and Joe's bags from the total number of clementines:
180 - 120 = 60 clementines
Since each bag has 12 clementines, we can write the equation as:
12t = 60
The equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t, is 12t = 60.
