Lisa needs 250 yards of yarn to knit a hat. She has 185 yards of yarn and needs to buy the rest. How many yards of yarn does she need to buy?

Use the variable y to represent the number of yards of yarn she needs to buy.

Which equation represents this situation and its solution?


y + 250 = 185; y = 65

y + 185 = 250; y = 65

250y = 185; y = 55

185y = 250; y = 55

Respuesta :

the 2nd one is the answer...

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Lisa needs 250 yards of yarn to knit a hat.  

She has 185 yards of yarn and needs to buy the rest.

Let y to be the number of yards of yarn she needs to buy.

Number of yards of yarn she needs to buy + Number of yards of yarn she has = 250

[tex]y+185=250[/tex]

Subtract 185 from both sides.

[tex]y+185-185=250-185[/tex]

[tex]y=65[/tex]

The required equation is [tex]y+185=250[/tex] and solution is [tex]y=65[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is B.
