Q. Juan and Rob are selling cookie dough for a school fundraiser. Juan has

t

cookie dough orders, and Rob has

40

cookie dough orders. They have a total of

75

cookie dough orders all together.

\newline

Write an equation to describe this situation.

Establish Equation: Let's denote the number of cookie dough orders Juan has as $t$ . According to the problem, Rob has $40$ cookie dough orders. Together, they have a total of $75$ cookie dough orders. We can express this relationship with an equation where the sum of Juan's orders ( $t$ ) and Rob's orders ( $40$ ) equals the total orders ( $75$ ).
Write Equation: Now, we write the equation based on the relationship we've established. The equation will add Juan's orders $t$ to Rob's orders $40$ to get the total orders $75$ . So, the equation is: $t + 40 = 75$
Verify Equation: To check for any math errors, we can verify that the equation is set up correctly according to the problem description. Juan's orders are represented by $t$ , Rob's orders are fixed at $40$ , and the total is given as $75$ . The equation $t + 40 = 75$ correctly represents this situation.
