Question

the edges on harrys snowboard are chipped and dented from riding over rocks, so harry wants to buy a new one. he cant afford the board he wants, so he opens a hot chocolate stand near his house. harry figures out how many cups of hot chocolate he must sell to have enough money for the snowboard. one cold, snowy saturday, harry sells 48 cups of hot chocolate. now, he needs to sell 52 more cups to buy the snowboard. which equation can you use to find the total number of cups c harry must sell to buy the snowboard? $\frac{c}{48}=52$ $c + 48 = 52$ $c - 48 = 52$ $48c = 52$ solve this equation for c to find the total number of cups harry must sell to buy the snowboard. cups

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem

Let $c$ be the total number of cups. He has already sold 48 cups and still needs to sell 52 cups. So the equation is $c-48 = 52$.

Step2: Solve the equation

Add 48 to both sides of the equation $c - 48=52$. We get $c=52 + 48$.

Step3: Calculate the value of $c$

$c=100$.

Answer:

The correct equation is $c - 48 = 52$ and the value of $c$ is 100 cups.
