Solution

The correct option is C 5b+2.5g=200
Consider the following verbal model :
Cost per bag no. of bags + cost per goggle no. of goggles = total cost
We know that Ravi spends all of his money ($200) on bags, he will get 40 bags. Therefore, we can divide 200 by 40 to see that each bag costs $5.
Similarly, 200g=2.5 $2.5
for each goggle.
Now we can substitute this information, along with given information into the above verbal model to find the following equation: 5b+2.5g=200
Correct option is C.
