    You went to the State Fair and spent $20. If cotton candy costs $2 and a soda pop costs $1. Which equation represents the relation between the number of cotton candy (c) and soda pops (s) you can buy?

    Our total cost for 20 at the state fair is:
    Cost of Cotton Candy + Cost of Soda = 20

    We know that price = cost * quantity, so we have:
    2c + 1s = 20

    Since 1s is written as s, we have:
    2c + s = 20
