Isabella bought packs of stickers to give to her friends. Each pack costs $3. She spent a total of $18 on stickers. How many packs did she buy? Write an equation to represent this situation.*1 point18x=3x + 3 = 183x = 183/18 = x

Answer 1

To represent the situation with an equation, we can let \( x \) be the number of packs of stickers that Isabella bought. Since each pack costs $3 and she spent a total of $18, we can set up the equation as follows:

\[ 3x = 18 \]

To find the number of packs \( x \), you can solve the equation:

\[ x = \frac{18}{3} \] \[ x = 6 \]

So, Isabella bought 6 packs of stickers.

Your original response includes some unnecessary elements, so the correct equation to represent the situation is \( 3x = 18 \).
