Given:
11c + 8m
c = 5 (number of candy canes Calvin eats for breakfast)
m = 3 (number of candy canes Melvin eats for breakfast)
Find:
toys built = ?
Solution:
So, with the given, we substitute each of the values in the equation, where c = 5 (Calvin’s candy canes) & m = 3 (Melvin’s candy canes) and perform the equation’s operations:
11c + 8m
(11 * 5) + (8 * 3)
55 + 24 = 79
Therefore, when Melvin eats 3 candy canes Calvin eats 5 candy canes for breakfast, they can build a total of 79 toys.
