Question

A swim team ordered 36 jackets that each cost the same amount. The total cost of the order was $1,116. Let c be the cost of each jacket. How much did each jacket cost? Choose the equation that represents this problem.
1,116 × c = 36
c = 1,116 × 36
1,116 ÷ 36 = c
c = 36 ÷ 1,116

Answer 1

Set up 36 × c = 1,116. Solving gives c = 1,116 ÷ 36 = 31.

So the correct choice is "1,116 ÷ 36 = c" and each jacket cost $31.
