1. joaquin is ordering 5 identical
sandwiches and a bag of chips. the
bag of chips costs $1.25, and the
entire order costs $38.75. write an
equation you can use to find the
price of a sandwich.

The correct equation form for finding the price of a sandwich is 5x + 1.25 = 38.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's check all the information given for solving this question:

Cost of bag of chips = US$ 1.25

Cost of sandwich = x

Cost of total order = US$ 38.75

2. The formula for find the cost of sandwich (x) is this:

5x + 1.25 = 38.75 (Joaquin ordered 5 sandwiches and a bag of chips)

5x = 37.50 (Subtracting 1.25 at both sides)

5x/5 = 37.50/5 (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

x = 7.50

The cost of each sandwich was US$ 7.50

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
