  4.   In a bag of 53 cherry- and watermelon-flavored candies, there are 19 more watermelon than cherry candies. Write an equation to determine how many candies are cherry.
    A. If c = number of cherry candies, c + 19 = 53.
    B. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + 19 = 53.
    C. If c = number of cherry candies, c + (c + 19) = 53.
    D. If w = number of watermelon candies, w + (w + 19) = 53.
    Hint
