Becky is preparing for her younger sister's birthday party. She splits a jar of lollilops evenly among 6 goody bags. Each bag ends up with 4 lollipops. Which equation can you use to find the number of lollipops n in the jar?

• n/6 = 4

• n - 4 = 6

• 4n = 6

• n + 6 = 4

Which choice models this situation? Anna participated in a read-a-thon. Mr. Cole pledged $4 per book and gave Anna $44. How many books did Anna read?
