A business that rents cars is open for 8 hours on Monday. On Monday morning the business had 45 cars. - The business rented 3 cars to customers during each of the first 5 hours. - The business rented 2 cars to customers during each of the next 3 hours. - The total number of cars that were brought back to the business by customers on Monday was 17. In which equation does c represent the number of cars the business had at the end of the day on Monday?

• c = 45 – (5 × 3) – (3 × 2) + 17

• c = 45 – (5 × 3) – (3 × 2) – 17

• c = 45 – (5 × 3) – (3 + 2) – 17

• c = 45 – (5 × 3) – (3 × 2) + 17

An elementary school had 90 boxes of glue sticks. Each box had 36 glue sticks. Teachers put all of the glue sticks into bags to give to the students. They put 6 glue sticks into each bag. Which equation can be used to find b, the number of bags the teachers can fill with these glue sticks?

• 90 × 36 ÷ 6 = b

• 90 ÷ 6 + 36 = b

• 36 × 90 + 6 = b

• 36 × 6 × 90 = b
