Solution

The correct option is A s + 3.5 = 7.5
Initially, John had 3.5 mL of vanilla essence.

He borrowed s mL of vanilla essence.

Now, he has 7.5 mL of vanilla essence.

3.5 mL should be added with s mL to get 7.5 mL.

Hence, the required equation to represent the amount of vanilla essence with John is s + 3.5 = 7.5.
