Let x represent the amount of money Sophia can spend on party favors.
x = amount of money Sophia can spend
$2.75 = amount spent per person
6 = amount of people
Equation:-
x ÷ $2.75 = 6
Now lets solve for x :-
To solve for x we will use d INVERSE OPERATION of division which is multiplication. Lets do it:-
x ÷ 2.75 = 6
6 × 2.75 = x
6 × 2.75 = 16.50
x = 16.50
CHECK OUR WORK:-
x ÷ 2.75 = 6
x = 16.50
16.50 ÷ 2.75 = 6
We were RIGHT!!
So, our equation for dis question would be x ÷ 2.75 = 6. When we solve for x, x = 16.50. Sophia can spend $16.50 on her party favors for 6 people.
Hope I helped ya!! xD
