Question 1171679: Rose is in charge of buying candy and drinks for a party. She spent $25 on drinks and each bag of candy costs $2.10. Which equation can be used to find, y, the amount of money she spent after buying x bags of candy?

D.
y = 2.10x + 25

The $25 for drinks is a constant and doesn't change. Because it increases the cost, D is the answer. That's one way to look at it.
x is the number of bags of candy so 2.10x is the amount spent on candy
y=2.10x+25
