Question

Violet was given a box of assorted chocolates for her birthday. Each night, Violet treated herself to some chocolates. Violet ate 4 chocolates each night and there were originally 24 chocolates in the box. Write an equation for C,C, in terms of t,t, representing the number of chocolates remaining in the box tt days after Violet's birthday.

Answer 1

Answer:

C = 24 - 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

Total chocolate = 24 chocolate

Quantity eaten each night = 4

Let

C = number of chocolate remaining

t = number of days after violet birthday

Number of chocolate remaining = original number of chocolate - 4(number of days after violet birthday)

C = 24 - 4t

For instance, if t = 2

That is, 2 days after violet birthday

C = 24 - 4t

= 24 - 4(2)

= 24 - 8

= 16
