The second answer.
You have the first prize, x.
Then you have the second prize, which is x - 50.
Then you have the third prize, which is x - 50 -50, or x - 100.
So the total money is:
x + (x-50) + (x-100).
PART A
alligators:
x = total number of alligators
n = number of years
x=20*1.25^n
crocodiles:
y = total number of crocodiles
n = number of years
y=25+10n
PART B
alligators
x=20*1.25^4 = 48.82 round up to 49
crocodiles 25 +10(2) = 25+20 = 45
Part C
7 years
20(1.25^n)=25+10n
1.25^n=1.25+0.5n
n=7
check:
alligators 20+1.25^7 = 95.36
crocodiles = 25+10(7) = 95
Jim has 27.5 minutes left to get to the airport.
I didn’t get an answer that matches your answer choices, but here are mine:
exact form: p = 69/7
decimal form: p = 9.857142
mixed number form: p = 9 (6/7)
