Mallory bought pizza and soda for a party. If she spent $12.57 on the sodas and $10.95 for each pizza, how many pizzas did she buy if her total is $89.22?
10.95x + 12.57 = 89.22
12.57x + 10.95 = 89.22
89.22x -10.95 = 12.57
12.57 + 10.95 = 89.22
Jim works at a local restaurant. He earns $8 an hour, plus tips. If Jim earned $350 last week, which included $270 in tips, how many hours did he work?
8/h + 270 = 350
350 = 270 + 8 + h
350 = 270 + 8h
350 -270 = h
Amy had $26 dollars to spend on school supplies. After buying 10 pens at the same price, she had $14.30 left. Write an equation to determine how much each pen cost.
14.30/p + 10 = 26
26/p = 24.30
10p - 14.30 = 26
14.30 + 10p = 26
Lance is buying new things for his room. He wants some posters and a new rug. He spent $44.50 total. If the rug costs $27 and the posters cost $2.50 each, how many did he buy?
44.5 = 2.5x - 27
44.5 - 2.5 = 27x
27x + 2.5 = 44.5
2.5x + 27 = 44.5
