The Oakland School's harvest festival is coming up, and Ms. Garza is in charge of ordering the caramel apples again. She knows she ordered 9 cases of caramel apples last year but can't remember how many apples come in a case. She checks last year's records and finds that the school sold 685 caramel apples and had 35 left over.Which equation can Ms. Garza use to find how many caramel apples, c, come in each case?Choices:(A) 685(c−9)=35(B) 9c−685=35(C) 685c−9=35(D) 9(c−685)=35How many caramel apples come in each case?____ caramel apples
Q. The Oakland School's harvest festival is coming up, and Ms. Garza is in charge of ordering the caramel apples again. She knows she ordered 9 cases of caramel apples last year but can't remember how many apples come in a case. She checks last year's records and finds that the school sold 685 caramel apples and had 35 left over.Which equation can Ms. Garza use to find how many caramel apples, c, come in each case?Choices:(A) 685(c−9)=35(B) 9c−685=35(C) 685c−9=35(D) 9(c−685)=35How many caramel apples come in each case?____ caramel apples
Calculate total apples: First, let's figure out the total number of caramel apples including those sold and left over. So, we add the apples sold 685 to those left over 35. Calculation: 685+35=720.
Find apples per case: Next, we need to find out how many apples come in each case. Since Ms. Garza ordered 9 cases, we divide the total number of apples by the number of cases. Calculation: 720/9=80.
Identify correct equation: Now, let's identify the correct equation that represents this situation. We know the total apples 720 is the product of the number of cases 9 and the apples per case c. So, the equation should be 9c=720.
