3) David goes into a candy store with $5.00. He buys 9 peppermints for $0.15
sour candies Each sour candy cost $0.25
a. Write an equation that will match the story problem

Solution:

Given that,

David goes into a candy store with $5.00

Total amount with David = $ 5

He buys 9 peppermints for $0.15 each

And some sour candies. each sour candy costs $0.25

The equation is:

Let the number of sour candies bought be "x"

Then,

Remaining amount after buying pepper mint =

Each sour candy cost $0.25

Now the number of sour candies bought is:

x = 14.6

Thus david can buy 14 sour candies

Thus the equation that will match the story problem is:

Where, "x" means number of sour candies bought

48 / 6 = x

in this case, x will equal the amount of money in each card!

x therefore will be 8.

trent had $8 in each birthday card.
