At the amusement park,each student is given $16 for food. This covers the cost of 2 meals plus $4 for snacks.How much money does the school except each student to spend per meal? What equation could be used to represent this situation

A4m-16=2
B2m+4=16
C4-2m=16
D4m-2=16

Verified Answer :

Let

m-------> the cost of one meals in dollars

we know that

\(2m+4=16\) ------> equation A

Solve for m

Subtract \(4\) both sides

\(2m+4-4=16-4\)

\(2m=12\)

Divide by \(2\) both sides

\(m=12/2=\$6\)

the cost of each meal is \(\$6\)

therefore

the answer is

The equation that could be used to represent this situation is

\(2m+4=16\)
