B. 25x = 6
C. 20 + 5x = 6x
D. 25x = 6x

Respuesta :

Answer:

Most likely C .

Step-by-step explanation:

The premium plan charges 20 dollars per cake. (+ 20) and $5 per child (5x) for pizza.

The premium plan would represent: [tex]5x + 20[/tex]

The basic plan would charge $6  per child for pizza.

This would be: [tex]6x[/tex]

In a equation when the cost of the premium plan is the same as the basic plan, [tex]20 + 5x = 6x[/tex] would be the best for modeling.
