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? (1 point)

Question

A. n − 14 = 37; Trina sold 51 boxes.

B. n + 37 = 14; Trina sold 23 boxes.

C. n − 37 = 14; Trina sold 51 boxes.

D. n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes

Answer 1

To find the equation that represents the number of boxes Trina sold, we start with the total boxes sold by both Yuri and Trina.

Yuri sold 14 boxes, and together they sold 37 boxes. This can be represented by the equation:

n (boxes sold by Trina) + 14 (boxes sold by Yuri) = 37 (total boxes sold)

So the equation is:

n + 14 = 37

Now, we can solve for n:

n = 37 - 14 n = 23

Thus, Trina sold 23 boxes.

Looking at the options provided:

A. n − 14 = 37; Trina sold 51 boxes.
B. n + 37 = 14; Trina sold 23 boxes.
C. n − 37 = 14; Trina sold 51 boxes.
D. n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.

The correct equation and answer is:

D. n + 14 = 37; Trina sold 23 boxes.
