At Joe's Clown Car Rental Agency, renting a car costs $35 plus $0.75 for every mile it is driven.  What is an equation that can be used to find the number of miles, m, a vehicle was driven, if the total rental charge was $222.50?

• 222.5 = m(35 + 0.75)
• 222.5 = 35 + 0.75m
• 222.5 = 0.75 + 35m
• 222.5 = 0.75(m + 35)

• C =15 (0.20x)
• C = 15 + x + 0.20
• C = 0.20 + 15x

Lisa went to the mall to do her back-to-school shopping.  When she returned, she noticed that the number of shirts (s) she purchased was 3 more than twice the number of pants (p) she bought.  What is an equation that can be used to represent the number of shirts Lisa purchased? 

• p=3 + 2s
• s + 2p =3
• s = 3 + 2p
• 2p = s + 3
