The table below shows the number of candy canes sold by Santa's Workshop each month. If each candy cane sells for $3, how much did Santa's Workshop make in February and March combined?

• $1,766

Santa had $122 when he entered the North Pole Workshop. After buying 9 identical toy kits, Santa had $23 left. Which two equations show the steps to solve for $k$, the unknown cost of each toy kit?

• 122 + 23 = 145, 145 ÷ 9 = $k$

• 122 - 23 = 99, 99 ÷ 9 = $k$

• 122 - 23 = 99, 99 x 9 = $k$

• 122 + 23 = 145, 145 x 9 = $k$

Answer explanation

To find the cost of each toy kit, subtract the remaining money ($23) from the initial amount ($122) to get $99. Then, divide $99 by the number of kits (9) to find the cost per kit, $k. Thus, the correct equations are 122 - 23 = 99 and 99 ÷ 9 = $k.
