Garden Club Market: Rebuild the Sales Records

Use equations and arithmetic to find missing market values.

Reconstruct the Records

The school garden club sells produce at a farmers market. Model each record and find the missing value.

The club records these sales. Let x be the number of carrot bunches sold.

Morning Sales
Item	Money collected
Carrots at $4 per bunch	$4x
All radish sales	$27
Total	$119

Solve 4x + 27 = 119. The club sold carrot bunches.

Six customers each buy one bag of salad greens for x dollars and pay $0.50 for a reusable container. They pay $21 altogether. Which equation models their payments?

A. 6(x − 0.50) = 21
B. 6(x + 0.50) = 21
C. 0.50(x + 6) = 21
D. 6x + 0.50 = 21

The club sells x produce baskets for $7 each. After paying one $16 stall fee, it has $68 left. Sam finds the basket count using (68 + 16) ÷ 7. Which equation matches this arithmetic solution?
