Q. Ross and Gabby sold boxes of cookies for their soccer team fundraiser. Ross sold

b

boxes of cookies, and Gabby sold

35

boxes of cookies. Together they sold a total of

69

boxes of cookies.

\newline

Select the equation that matches this situation.

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A)

b+35=69

\newline

(B)

35 b=69

\newline

(C)

69=b-35

Define Variables: Let's define the variables based on the information given: $\newline$ Ross sold $b$ boxes of cookies. $\newline$ Gabby sold $35$ boxes of cookies. $\newline$ Together, they sold $69$ boxes of cookies. $\newline$ We need to find an equation that represents this situation.
Create Equation: We can express the total number of boxes sold by Ross and Gabby as the sum of the boxes each sold. So, the equation will be the number of boxes Ross sold $b$ plus the number of boxes Gabby sold $35$ equals the total number of boxes sold $69$ . The equation is: $b + 35 = 69$ .
Check Other Options: Now, let's check the other options to ensure they do not represent the situation correctly. $\newline$ Option (B) $35b = 69$ suggests that Gabby sold $35$ times the number of boxes Ross sold, which is not the case. $\newline$ Option (C) $69 = b - 35$ suggests that if you subtract $35$ from the number of boxes Ross sold, you get the total number of boxes, which is also incorrect. $\newline$ Therefore, the correct equation is the one we found in the previous step.
