KingPizza:

well what do you think we can eliminate?

KingPizza:

10 dollars for EACH person is a key phrase there, so that is where we would need to include a variable if that helps

KingPizza:

so since it says 10 dollars for EACH person, should the variable be next to the 10 or the 195?

Tonycoolkid21:

next to 10

KingPizza:

yes so that shows we can eliminate two of the choices that have x next to the 195, but what variable should we have next to the 10? x or c?

Tonycoolkid21:

c

KingPizza:

so first, why do you think it's c?

Tonycoolkid21:

idk why i need explation

KingPizza:

well it says x number of people so you would need to represent the number of people with x, and if we use c next to the 10 and x=, then it would be like saying 10 dollars for each cost, which doesn't make sense, but it needs to be 10 dollars for each PERSON, and x=number of people, so what do you think the answer is now

Tonycoolkid21:

c

KingPizza:

actually not c, because each person gets $10 and x=number of people, and c=total cost, so c would be like saying 10$ for each total cost

KingPizza:

so there's only one other answer that would make sense

Tonycoolkid21:

D

KingPizza:

yes D would make the most sense here

Tonycoolkid21:

k so what will i write down on how I got d as my answer

KingPizza:

well just summarize the explanations I already typed in here into one explanation and also say it can't be A or B because if it's $10 for EACH person, there must be a variable next to the 10 which in this case is x

Tonycoolkid21:

am go find someone else to help me explain more
