$165 John paid a total of for a microscope by making $37 a down payment of plus p monthly payments of $16 each. Which of the following equations represents this situation? 16p−37 = 165
Correct answer: C (parsed from the explanation — this source omits an answer key for this item)
Explanation
$16 Choice C is correct. It’s given that John made a payment each month for p months. The total amount of these payments can be represented by the 16 expression p. The down payment can be added to that amount to find the total 16 +37 amount John paid, yielding the expression p . It’s given that John paid a $165 total of . Therefore, the expression for the total amount John paid can be set 16 +37=165 equal to that amount, yielding the equation p . Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
