Writing One-Step Equations from Word Problems

The video tutorial explains two mathematical scenarios. The first involves calculating the number of pizza boxes Anna can buy with a given budget, using algebraic equations. The second scenario involves Mr. Herman's class aiming to raise $500 by selling candy boxes, and determining how many boxes need to be sold. Both scenarios involve setting up and solving equations to find the number of items needed based on cost and total budget.

How much does each pizza box cost?

• $42.50

• $8.50

• $500

• $2.75

Which equation correctly represents the situation with Anna and the pizza boxes?

• 8.5p = 42.5

• p = 8.5 * 42.5

• 42.5p = 8.5

• p = 42.5 / 8.5

CCSS.6.EE.B.7

Which equation can be used to determine the number of candy boxes needed to meet the fundraising goal?

• c = 500 / 2.75

• c = 2.75 * 500

• 500c = 2.75

• 2.75c = 500

If the class wants to raise exactly $500, how many boxes at $2.75 each must they sell?

• 250 boxes

• 225 boxes

• 200 boxes

• 182 boxes

What is the correct way to set up an equation for the total money raised by selling candy?

• Total = Price per Box + Number of Boxes

• Total = Price per Box * Number of Boxes

• Total = Price per Box - Number of Boxes

• Total = Number of Boxes / Price per Box

What does the variable 'c' represent in the context of the fundraising scenario?

• Total amount raised

• Price per pizza box

• Number of candy boxes sold

• Cost per box
