Brittany brought her collection of Map Mosaics jigsaw puzzles to a secondhand store to sell
She was paid cash for all 8 puzzles in her collection, Before she left, Brittany used $7.25 of
her earnings to purchase a used board game, She had $12.75 remaining.
Which equation can you use to find the amount of money, p, Brittany received for each puz
in her collection?
Let's assume that Brittany received the same amount of money, p, for each puzzle in her collection.
The total amount of money Brittany received from selling her puzzles can be calculated by multiplying the amount of money received for each puzzle, p, by the number of puzzles she sold, which is 8.
Equation: 8p
From the total amount of money she received, she used $7.25 to purchase a used board game.
To find the remaining amount of money, we subtract the amount spent on the board game from the total amount received:
Equation: 8p - 7.25 = 12.75
