Answer:

1. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 16 = 100

12x = 84

x = 7

Answer:

1. x = 7

2. Simon and Iris earned $212 selling candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 12(7) + 16 = 100

  84 + 16 = 100

  100 = 100

  Therefore, x = 7.

2. If they split the price by 2, then we need to multiply $100 by 2.

100 x 2 = $200

   $200 + $12 = $212

 Therefore, Simon and Iris earned $212 selling candy.
