Yuri and Trina sold boxes of cookies. Yuri sold 14 boxes, while Trina sold n boxes. Together, they sold a total of 37 boxes. Which equation represents the number of boxes Trina sold? How many boxes did she sell?

Question

n - 14 = 37; Trina sold 51 boxes

n + 37 = 14; Trina sold 23 boxes

n + 14 = 37: Trina sold 23 boxes

Answer 1

To find the number of boxes Trina sold, we can set up the equation based on the total sales.

Yuri sold 14 boxes, and together they sold a total of 37 boxes. Thus, the relationship can be represented by the equation:

\[ n + 14 = 37 \]

This means that the number of boxes Trina sold (n) added to the number of boxes Yuri sold (14) equals the total number of boxes sold (37).

Now, we can solve for n:

1. Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation:

\[ n = 37 - 14 \] \[ n = 23 \]

So, Trina sold 23 boxes.

Among the provided options, the correct equation is:

n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
