The equation that can be used to find x, the number of snacks each class needs to sell so that the total amount raised is the same for both classes is:
b) 2x + 200 = 2.5x + 150
two eighth grade classes are selling snacks to raise money for decorations.
one class is selling snacks for $2.50 each and has already raised $150
the other class is selling snacks for $2.00 each and has already raised $200
Which equation can be used to find x, the number of snacks each class needs to sell so that the total amount raised is the same for both classes?
a 2.5x + 200 = 2x +150
b 2x + 200 = 2.5x + 150
c 2 + 200x + 2.5 + 150x
d 2x + 200x = 2.5x + 150
