Q. Craig makes bottles of bubble bath and scented soap bars. He sells them at his local farmers' market. On Saturday, he sold bb bottles of bubble bath and 2525 soap bars. Craig sold 3838 items in all.\newlineWhich diagram models the story?\newline\newlineWhich equation models the story?\newline\newlineChoices:\newline(A) b+25=38b + 25 = 38\newline(B) b25=38b - 25 = 38
  1. Combine bottle and soap sales: Craig sold bb bottles of bubble bath and 2525 soap bars, totaling 3838 items sold. To find the equation that represents this situation, we add the number of bottles sold to the number of soap bars sold and set this equal to the total number of items sold.
  2. Check equation with example: To check if this equation is correct, assume bb is 1313 (as an example). Plugging in b=13b = 13, we get 13+25=3813 + 25 = 38, which is true. This confirms our equation is correct.
