Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has if there are 6 beads in each packet. Find and correct Laura’s mistake
7+4b = 11b
= 11(6)
=66

Solution:

Given that,

Laura wrote and solved the following expression to find the total number of beads Lina has

There are 6 beads in each packet

7+4b = 11b

= 11(6)

=66

From given,

Lina has a total of 7 + 4b beads

Given that, There are 6 beads in each packet

Substitute b = 6

7 + 4(6)

Simplify

7 + 24

Add

31

Thus, she has a total of 31 beads and not 66 beads

Laura made a mistake by adding the constant 7 and variable 4b

But a constant and variable cannot be added

to find the unit price, we must figure out the cost of one item (in this case one dish towel).   to do this, we divide the total price ($7.92) by the number of items bought (for this problem it is 8, because there are eight dish towels in one pack).  

$7.92/8 = $0.99

therefore, the unit price, or the price of one dish towel, is $0.99.

hope this !

0.84 dang lotta people are looking for this lol or if you round up its 1 but the overall answer to that is 0.84
