Question

The cost of mozzarella cheese is 5 dollars more than twice that of cheddar (n dollars per packet). If the cost of mozzarella cheese is 6 dollars per packet, which of the following gives the equation to find the cost of a packet of cheddar?

• A. 2n + 5 = 6
• B. 2n + 6 = 5
• C. n + 5 = 6
• D. n + 6 = 5

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2n + 5 = 6

It is given that cost of mozzarella cheese is 5 dollars more than twice that of cheddar.

Cost of a cheddar packet = n dollars

Hence, the required equation to find cost of a packet of cheddar is 2n + 5 = 6
