When buying snacks for her classroom, Ms. Davis bought 4 bags of mixed nuts and 8 bags of pretzels. A bag of pretzels costs $1.50 less than a bag of mixed nuts. She spent $57 for the snacks. The variable is the price of one bag of mixed nuts.
What is the translation of this scenario?
cost of pretzels = cost of mixed nuts
cost of pretzels – cost of mixed nuts = 57
cost of mixed nuts + cost of pretzels = 57
57 + cost of mixed nuts = cost of pretzels
