Question

Ezra is saving money to buy a snowboard that costs $225. He already has $45 and can earn the rest by walking ten dogs. If d represents how much he earns for walking each dog, which of the following equations can be solved to find how much Ezra is paid for walking each dog?
A. 225 = 45d – 10
B. 225 – 45 = 10d
C. 25 + 45 = 10d
D. 45 = 225 – d

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 225 - 45 = 10d

Step-by-step explanation:

The remainder Ezra needs to save can be earned by walking ten dogs.

Let remainder = r

Let dogs = d

This means:

r = 10d

Make 'r' numerical values.

r = Total cost of snowboard - Current savings

r = $225 - $45

Therefore:

225 - 45 = 10d
