Roman should order?
Roman is ordering uniforms for the tennis team. He knows how many people are on the team and how many uniforms come in each box. Which equation can be used to solve for how many boxes
The total number of uniforms needed equals the number of students divided by the number of uniforms per box.
The total number of uniforms needed equals the number of students divided by the number of uniforms per box.

Dr. Jones charges a $50 flat fee for every patient. He also charges his patients $40 for every 10 minutes that he spends with him. If Mrs. Smith had an appointment that lasted 30 minutes, how much did she have to pay Dr. Jones?
Dr. Jones charges a $50 flat fee for every patient. He also charges his patients $40 for every 10 minutes that he spends with him. If Mrs. Smith had an appointment that lasted 30 minutes, how much did she have to pay Dr. Jones?
We can express Dr. Jones's rate in a linear equation:
Since Mrs. Smith's appointment lasted 30 minutes, we have 3 10-minute intervals. Then, we can plug in that number into our above equation to find out how much the appointment cost.

Jimmy had 
in lunch money for school. Everyday he spends 
for food and drinks. What is the expression that shows how much money will he have after each day, where 
is the days, and 
is the total amount of money left?

Jimmy starts off with $60, and spends $3.50 everyday.
This means that he will have $56.50 after day 1, $53 after day 2, and so forth.
Only one equation satisfies this scenario. The rest are irrelevant.
