The state budgeted $1,557,555 for a healthy snack program. If each snack costs $3, how
many can the state buy?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

if you are looking for the unit rate then the answer would be 9 because unit rate is distance divided by time.
