Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Budget = $25

Shoes rental = $5.00

Price per game = $4.00

To find the greatest number of games he played...

↓

First, subtract the rent for the shoes from the budget.

25 - 5 = 20

Second, divide the remaining money or budget by the price per game.

20 ÷ 4 = 5 (greatest number of games played)

Lastly, check if the expense is the same as the original amount of money.

5 (shoes) + 4(5) (number of games played)

5 + 20 = 25 (original amount of money)

Hope it helps!!! Please mark as brainliest. Thank you :D

The scale for a map is 20 miles = 1/2 inch. The distance between two towns on the map is 3 3/4 inches. What is the actual distan

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

150 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1/2 of an inch is 20 miles, we can assume that 1/4 of an inch is 10 miles, since half of 1/2 is 1/4 and 1/2 of 20 is 10.

Equipped with this information, we can divide 3 by 1/2 or multiply 3 by the reciprical, 2/1 to get how much we should multiply 20 by.

3*2=6

20*6=120

Then we can multiply 10 by 3 and add that on our answer, since there are still 3/4s left and 1/4=10 miles.

10*3=30

120+30=150

The actual distance is 150 miles.

Hope this helps!

A pet store sells goldfish and hermit crabs,

Elis [28]

Answer:

$Cost = \$28$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Goldfish with g and hermit crabs with h.

The first statement, we have:

$7g + 3h = 26$

The second statement, we have:

$4g + 5h = 28$

Required

Determine the selling price of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs

The equations are:

$7g + 3h = 26$ --- (1)

$4g + 5h = 28$ --- (2)

Make g the subject in (2)

$4g + 5h = 28$

$4g = 28 - 5h$

Divide both sides by 4

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

Substitute $\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$ for g in (1)

$7g + 3h = 26$

$7(\frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)) + 3h = 26$

$\frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 3h = 26$

Multiply through by 4

$4 * \frac{7}{4}(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

$7(28 - 5h) + 4*3h = 26*4$

Open bracket

$196 - 35h + 12h = 104$

$196 -23h = 104$

Collect Like Terms

$-23h = 104-196$

$-23h = -92$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{-92}{-23}$

$h = \frac{92}{23}$

$h = 4$

Substitute 4 for h in $g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5h)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 5*4)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(28 - 20)$

$g = \frac{1}{4}(8)$

$g = 2$

This implies that:

1 goldfish = $2

1 hermit crab = $4

The cost of 6 goldfish and 4 hermit crabs is:

$Cost = 6g + 4h$

$Cost = 6*\$2 + 4*\$4$

$Cost = \$12 + \$16$

$Cost = \$28$

Of all the students enrolled at the American dream, 9% are playing a music instrument. There are 330 students in ADS. How many s

Genrish500 [490]

Exactly 29.7, but you can't have 7/10 of a student so you round to 30. So 30 students are playing a music instrument because 330 times 0.09 is about 30

Select the property of equality used to arrive at the conclusion. If x = 4, then 5x = 20 the addition property of equality the m

shtirl [24]

Answer:

The Division Property of Equality

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The Addition Property of Equality:</u> When you add something to one side of the equation, you must add the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Subtraction Property of Equality:</u> When you subtract something from one side of the equation, you must subtract the same thing from the other side.

<u>The Multiplication Property of Equality:</u> When you multiply something to one side of the equation, you must multiply the same thing to the other side.

<u>The Division Property of Equality:</u> When you divide something from one side of the equation, you must divide the same thing from the other side.

In this case, you have to divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get x = 4. That means that the division property of equality was used.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
