Mary earns $14 per hour. Which equation represents how many hours she worked to earn $112?

• 14h = 112

• 14 / h = 112

• h + 14 = 112

• h - 14 = 112

Fontaine earns $15 an hour, h, and sometimes receives additional money in tips. Today Fontaine worked for several hours and also earned $20 in tips. Create an equation to determine how many hours Fontaine worked today if he made $200.

• 20h + 15h = 200

• 35h + 15 = 200

• 200 = 15h + 20

• 200 = 5h + 20

Billy bought 5 tickets that each cost the same amount. If he spent a total of $62.00 on the tickets, how much did each ticket cost? Let d represent the number of tickets and write an equation to solve this problem.

• d/5 = 62

• d-5 = 62

• 5d = 62

• 5 + d = 62

Adult tickets were $18 each. Student tickets were $13 each. We bought x number of adult tickets and one student ticket for a total of $103. Create an equation to determine the number of adult tickets bought.

• 5x + 13 = 103

• 18x + 13 = 103

• 103 = 13x + 18

• 103 = 5x + 18

Joey and four of his friends went out to eat. They decided to split the bill evenly. Each person paid $11.13. What was the total bill? Write an equation you could use to solve this equation. Let d represent the total amount of the bill.

• d/4 = $11.13

• 4d = $11.13

• d/5 = $11.13

• 5d = $11.13

Cadin rents a bouncy house for a birthday party. It costs $30.00 plus $4.00 per hour. If he spends a total of $78.00, how many hours did he keep the bouncy house?

• $30.00 - $78.00 = $4.00h

• $78.00 + $30.00 = $4.00h

• $30.00 + $4.00h = $78.00

• $30.00 - $4.00h = $78.00

Lisa is cooking muffins. The recipe calls for 7 cups of sugar. She has already put in 2 cups. How many more cups does she need to put in?

• 2 + n = 7

• n - 7 = 2

• 2 - n = 7

• 7 + n = 2

After paying $5.12 for a salad, Daxton has $27.10. How much money did he have before buying the salad?

• n + $5.12 = $27.10

• n - $5.12 = $27.10

• n - $5.12 = $27.10

• $5.12 - n = $27.10

Emily earns $14 per hour. Which equation represents how many hours she worked to earn $112? 

• 14h = 112

• h + 14 = 112

• 14 / h = 112

• h - 14 = 112

Robyn had some video games then bought 4 more.  Now she has a total of 10 games.  (Remember you are in 7th grade, not 1st grade)

• v - 4 = 10

• v + 4 = 10

• 10 - 4 = v

• 10 + 4 = v
