The edges on Philip's snowboard are chipped and dented from riding over rocks, so Philip wants to buy a new one. He can't afford the board he wants, so he opens a hot chocolate stand near his house. Philip figures out how many cups of hot chocolate he must sell to have enough money for the snowboard. One cold, snowy Saturday, Philip sells 48 cups of hot chocolate. Now, he needs to sell 52 more cups to buy the snowboard. Which equation can you use to find the total number of cups c Philip must sell to buy the snowboard?\begin{align*}
&(c)/(48)=52,\
&48c=52,\
&c-48=52,\
&c+48=52
\end{align*}Solve this equation for c to find the total number of cups Philip must sell to buy the snowboard.0 cups
Q. The edges on Philip's snowboard are chipped and dented from riding over rocks, so Philip wants to buy a new one. He can't afford the board he wants, so he opens a hot chocolate stand near his house. Philip figures out how many cups of hot chocolate he must sell to have enough money for the snowboard. One cold, snowy Saturday, Philip sells 48 cups of hot chocolate. Now, he needs to sell 52 more cups to buy the snowboard. Which equation can you use to find the total number of cups c Philip must sell to buy the snowboard?\begin{align*}
&(c)/(48)=52,\
&48c=52,\
&c-48=52,\
&c+48=52
\end{align*}Solve this equation for c to find the total number of cups Philip must sell to buy the snowboard.0 cups
Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation from the options given. Philip already sold 48 cups and needs 52 more. The equation that represents this situation is c−48=52, where c is the total number of cups needed.
Solve Equation: Solve the equation c−48=52. Add 48 to both sides to isolate c. c−48+48=52+48c=100
