Answer: 7
pounds for 3.15 is a better option
Step-by-step explanation:
Here in this question, we want to know which of the two options is a better option for buying crickets.
To know the better option, we shall be needing the unit price in whatever system to be used;
7 pounds of crickets for 3.15;
so the unit price here will be 3.15/7 = 0.45 per pound
For the second system, we have 3 pounds for 1.47 so the unit price will be 1.47/3 = 0.49 per pound
As we can see, the first option commands a cheaper price per unit, so it is the better option to buy
X = 12400
20/100 = 1/5
2480 x 5 = 12400
The answer would be x = 85
So in matt's equation, he made a mistake in the a transision from line 2 to line 3
in line 2: -4(-2)2
in line 3: -4(4)
the mistake is that -2 times 2 is not equal +4 it is equal to -4
also from lines 5 to 6 he made a mistake in order of opperations (mulit division then addition and subtract)
line 5: -10+30/5
line 6: 20/5
so he first subtracted 10 then divided, he should have divided then subtracted
so the equation should have equaled
Karen used the correct (-) times (+) property and the order of operations
so Karen is correct and Matt is wrong.
