Kate had 50 50 tickets to use for rides at the fair. She lost some of them. Her dad doubled the tickets she had left. Kate wrote the expression 2(50−t) 2 ( 50 - t ) to find the number of tickets she has now, where t t is the number of tickets she lost. Jack correctly wrote another expression, 100−2t 100 - 2 t , to find the number of tickets Kate has now. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Kate's and Jack's expressions mean.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Kate expression: 2(50-t)

2 : represents twice,

50 : represents Initial number of tickets Kate has,

t : The lost tickets

50-t : represents Number of ticket Kate has After loosing t tickets

Jack expression: 100 - 2t

100 : Twice of initial ticket Kate has,

t :  The lost tickets

2t : represents twice of the lost tickets,

100-2t : represents Final number of ticket Kate has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Initially Kate has 50 tickets.

She lost tickets = t

And, after losing t ticket she has tickets = 50 - t

But, His father doubled the amount, Thus she has final tickets = 2(50-t)= 2×50 -2× t = 100 - 2t
