Amanda is making a special gelatin dessert for the Garden Club meeting. She plans to fill a
large flower-pot-shaped mold with 12 ounces of gelatin. She wants to use the rest of the
gelatin to fill small daisy-shaped molds. Each daisy-shaped mold holds 3 ounces, and the
package of gelatin she bought makes 60 ounces in all.
Which equation can you use to find how many daisy-shaped molds, x, Amanda can fill?
a. 12(x + 3) = 60
b. 12x + 3 = 60
c. 3(x + 12) = 60
d. 3x + 12 = 60
