Question

terry buys beads by the bag to make jewelry. there are 25 beads in each bag. which equation can he use to find the number of beads in any number of bags if: n equals any number of bags, and t equals the total number of beads? 25t = n, 25 + t = n, 25 + n = t, 25n = t

Explanation:

Step1: Define relationship

Total beads = beads per bag × number of bags

Step2: Substitute variables

Given $t$ = total beads, 25 = beads per bag, $n$ = number of bags:
$t = 25 \times n$ or $25n = t$

Answer:

$25n = t$
