A. $25
The explanation would be because 365-105=206 and then double 105 which would be 210 and then subtract that from 206 which would be 50 then divide that by 2 and you would get 25
Let’s put that into an equation
Luggage bags will be represented in x
Since there’s 2 bags it will be 2x
The plane ticket cost $105. The hotel room cost TWO TIMES the amount of the plane ticket. So the hotel room would be 2(105)
Putting them together your equation would be:
365 = 105 + 2x + 2(105)
Now we solve from here:
2(105) = 210
210 + 105 = 315
Now we have:
365 = 315 + 2x
Isolate the variable so you have to Subtract 315 on both sides then you’ll have:
50 = 2x
Divide 2 on both sides:
25 = x
The cost of one luggage bag is $25.
