Will Fan and medal Hera spent $16 on dinner. Then she spent $6 on dessert and some more on a taxi ride. Including the taxi fare, she spent a total of $31. How much money did Hera spend on the taxi ride?
(a) What is the unknown information? (b) Let x represent the unknown information. Write an addition equation that models the problem. (c) Solve the equation. (d) Answer the question.
the point you've mentioned should help you solve the question. try it this way, you'll get the total cost if you add all the money she spent right?
so if you take x as the money she spent on taxi. do you think you can make an equation?
i think
16+6=22
so 9 dollars on the taxi ride?
16+6= 22 now that is the money for dinner and dessert. what about the taxi money?
22+9 is 31
sorry i read a number wrong lol yes the money on taxi is 9 good job but its important you know how to make an equation in x to solve for the answer
so 16+6=(22)=9=31
(22)+9*
basically. 16+6+x=31 then you solve for x
22?
yes when you plus 16+6 thats 22 if you want you can add those two first then add x and equate to 31 22+x=31
(a) What is the unknown information? (b) Let x represent the unknown information. Write an addition equation that models the problem. (c) Solve the equation. (d) Answer the question. but we still need to answer this
a. unknown information is the taxi money b. equation is 16+6+x=31 c.solving the equation x=31-16+6 so x= 9 d. hera spent $9 on taxi
