Answer:

Equation that models the situation: 96 + 12r = 300

r = 17

Cost of 1 rake is: $17

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each pair of gloves is $8.00 and their are 12 volunteers:

To simplify it we do 8 times 12 (8 * 12) = 96

Next, we know that the total cost is 300 which is out "="

We don't know the cost of the rake, but, we know there are 12 volunteers. This makes our rakes "r" unknown.
