Enny is selling candles for $3 each at a fund-raiser. If she starts selling with $4 to help her make change, how many candles, x, will she have to sell to end up with $19?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 candles

Step-by-step explanation:

Enny is selling candles for $3 at a fund raiser

She starts selling $4 to help her make change

Therefore the number of candles x that will be sold to get $19 can be calculated as follows

3x + 4= 19

3x = 19-4

3x= 15

x = 15/3

x= 5

Hence 5 candles must be sold to get $19
