• xx - 6 = 10

A limo driver needs to make more than $450 in one day. He charges a rental fee of $375 plus $0.85 per mile. What inequality represents the number of miles, x, he would have to drive to reach his goal?

• 0.85x + 375 > 450

• 0.85x + 375 < 450

• 0.85 + 375x > 450

• 0.85 + 375x < 450

Hailey bought a book for $2.50 and 4 stickers.  She spent a total of 6.59.  How much did the stickers cost?

• $2.50 + 4s =$6.59

• $2.50s + 4 = $6.59

• $2.50 - 4s = $6.59

• 4s - $2.50 = $6.59

Cadin rents a bouncy house for a birthday party. It costs $30.00 plus $4.00 per hour. If he spends a total of $78.00, how many hours did he keep the bouncy house?

• $30.00 - $78.00 = $4.00h

• $78.00 + $30.00 = $4.00h

• $30.00 + $4.00h = $78.00

• $30.00 - $4.00h = $78.00

Emily earns $14 per hour. Which equation represents how many hours she worked to earn $112? 

• 14h = 112

• h + 14 = 112

• 14 / h = 112

• h - 14 = 112

You take out a loan from a bank for $3600.  You plan to pay back 300 per week.  Which equation would help you solve the number of weeks to pay back the loan?

• 3600 - 300w = 0

• -3600w + 300 = 0

• 0 - 3600 = 300w

• w + 3600 + 300 = 0

Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie's car bill was $63.

• 7x + 35 = 63

• 7x = 63

• 7x - 35 = 63

• 35x + 7 = 63

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. Write an equation that represents this scenario if she spends $35 in all.

• .50x + 20 = 35

• .50x = 35

• .50 + 20x = 35 

• .50x - 20 = 35
