Part A

A factory makes red, blue, and yellow buttons. Within an hour, the number of red buttons that the factory makes is 5 times the number of blue buttons and 22 yellow buttons were made. During this hour, the factory makes 100 total buttons.

Write an equation to represent the scenario.

Answer 1

Let b = number of blue buttons. Then red = 5b and yellow = 22, so
5b + b + 22 = 100
(or simplified: 6b + 22 = 100).
