Jaidyn Kirby · Answer 1

I am not going to answer each but here is a general answer.

y is total price and x is number of kids

Sandy's equation would be y = 10+5x

Kimmi's equation would be y = 25

For them to equal we would have 25=10+5x

Simplify

5x=15

x=3

So for them to be equal, Sandy should have 3 kids.

So if someone has 5 children then he should choose Kimmi
