The equation that can be used to find the total number of cups c Isabella must sell to buy the snowboard is:
c + 50 + 45 = Total number of cups to buy the snowboard.
To solve this equation for c and find the total number of cups Isabella must sell to buy the snowboard, we subtract 95 from both sides of the equation:
c = Total number of cups to buy the snowboard - 95.
Therefore, the total number of cups Isabella must sell to buy the snowboard is c = Total number of cups to buy the snowboard - 95.

The edges on Isabella's snowboard are chipped and dented from riding over rocks, so Isabella wants to buy a new one. She can't afford the board she wants, so she opens a hot chocolate stand near her house. Isabella figures out how many cups of hot chocolate she must sell to have enough money for the snowboard. One cold, snowy Saturday, Isabella sells 50 cups of hot chocolate. Now, she needs to sell 45 more cups to buy the snowboard.
