Mr. Chen bought x number of books for the members of his book club. The cost for x books, including $4.99 shipping, was $82.99. Each book cost $6.50. There was no sales tax on this purchase. Which equation could be used to find x, the number of books purchased?
6.50x + 4.99 = 82.99
4.99x + 6.50 = 82.99
6.50(4.99 + x) = 82.99
4.99(x + 6.50) = 82.99
