Question

which situation is best represented by the following equation?
45w + 123.95 = 753.95
explain in 3 sentences using only words

Answer 1

The equation represents a scenario where a person has a total amount of money, 753.95, which includes a fixed cost of 123.95 and a variable cost that depends on “w” items, each costing 45. The equation shows how many items need to be purchased at that price to reach the total amount while accounting for the initial fixed cost. This situation could relate to budgeting for a purchase where both a base price and a cost per item are involved.
