A bag of candy was shared equally among 4 friends. Each friend gave away 7 pieces of candy. They each ended up with 8 pieces of candy. Write an equation to find how much candy was in the bag at the beginning.

• c/7 - 4 = 8

• c/4 + 7 = 8

• 4/c - 7 = 8

• c/4 - 7 = 8

Guillermo bought some reams of paper for $5 each and a $200 printer. He spent a total of $450. How many reams of paper Guillermo purchased?

• 5x + 200 = 450

Adrian has $250 in his savings account. He plans to save $10 per week from his babysitting job. Jimmy has only $200 in his account but can save $20 a week from his job working with his Mom. How many weeks will it take before the amount in each savings account is the same?

• 250+10x-200+20x

• 250+10x=200+20x

• 250+20x=200+10x

• 250+200=20x+10x

The Frederick County Fair costs $15.00 to get in and $2.50 per ride, while the Montgomery County Fair costs $10.00 to get in and $3.00 per ride. Which equations could be used to determine how many rides you would need to go on for both fairs to be of equal value?

• 15x + 2.5 = 10x + 3

• 15 - 2.5x = 10 - 3x

• 15 + 2.5x = 10 + 3x

• 15 - 10 = 2.5x + 3x

At Gamestop you can buy a Xbox One for $150.00 and each game to go with it would cost $24.00. Or, you can buy a Playstation 4 for $180.00 and each game for $20.00. Write an equation to determine how many games would need to be purchased for the cost to be equal?

• 150x + 24 = 180 + 20x

• 150 + 24x = 180 + 20x

• 180 - 150 = 24 x + 20x

• 150 - 24x = 180 - 20x

One cell phone plan costs $30 per month plus $0.25 for each text.

Another plan costs $70 per month plus $0.10 for each text.

For what number of text messages will the monthly bill for both plans be the same?
