write a real world situation that can be represented by 15 + c = 17.50. Then solve the equation and describe what your answer represents for the problem situation
15+c=17.50
First you subtract 15 by 15 because you switch operations from adding to subtracting then you would put C under it
Second subtract 17.50 and 15 and that is 2.50 so C= 2.50
Answer:
The given expression is
\(15+c=17.50\)
We can use this expression to model the cost for a service.
Let's say that your gardener charges an initial amount of $15, and an additional per hour. If the gardener worked only for one hour, and the total cost charged was $17.50, how much was the additional cost?
So, the given expression models this real life situation, we can answer the problem by just solving the equation for \(c\)
\(15+c=17.50\\c=17.50-15\\c=2.50\)
