Alright, let's break down the word problem step by step:
1. Understand the Problem:
- Hayden is selling snacks.
- Each snack costs [tex]$1.50.
- He made $[/tex]15 in total.
- We need to find out how many snacks he sold.
2. Define the Variable:
- Let [tex]\( x \)[/tex] be the number of snacks Hayden sold.
3. Set Up the Equation:
- Each snack costs [tex]$1.50, so the total amount of money made from selling \( x \) snacks can be represented by \( 1.5 \times x \).
- We know that this total amount is $[/tex]15.
4. Formulate the Equation:
- Therefore, the equation to represent this situation is [tex]\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)[/tex].
5. Solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
- To find out how many snacks he sold, you would solve the equation [tex]\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)[/tex].
Given these steps, let's look at the provided options:
A. [tex]\( 15 - 1.5 \times x \)[/tex]
B. [tex]\( 15 - 1.5x \)[/tex]
C. [tex]\( 15 - 15x \)[/tex]
D. [tex]\( 15x = 1.5 \)[/tex]
None of the given options directly describe the equation [tex]\( 1.5 \times x = 15 \)[/tex].
Therefore, there appears to be a misunderstanding or a mistake in the given options. The correct proper equation to solve the problem based on the breakdown is indeed:
[tex]\[ 1.5 \times x = 15 \][/tex]
