Exercise 4 Page 3

Some common situations involve figuring out how much money is needed.

See solution.

Suppose we have $10, how many $2 candy bars can we buy? Writing down an equation can help us with this calculation. We want to know how many candy bars we can buy with $ 10. We know that each candy bar costs $ 2.

$ 2 * x=$ 10 Since 2* 5= 10, we can buy 5 candy bars. x= 5 Please note that this is not the only answer. Everyday life is full of these type of situations! Writing down an equation can help us with these calculations.
