Question

Carolina fosters 5 puppies for each puppy she buys a crate that cost c dollars and a leach that cost $20 she spends $475 total which equations model the situation select all that apply

Answer 1

Interpretation: she has 5 puppies and for each puppy she buys a crate costing c dollars and a leash costing $20, for a total of $475.

Correct (equivalent) equations that model this are:
- 5(c + 20) = 475
- 5c + 100 = 475 (distributing)
- 5c = 375 (subtract 100 from both sides)
- c = 75 (divide both sides by 5)
- c + 20 = 95 (divide the total-per-puppy equation 5(c+20)=475 by 5)

Incorrect examples: 5c + 20 = 475 or c + 20 = 475 are not correct models.
