2500/10=250
250 represents how much the elephant can eat in one day. Since they want to know how much the elephant can eat in 1000 days you would multiply 250 and 1000 which leaves you with 250,000 pounds of food.
The elephant can eat 250,000 pounds of food in 10 days. :)

The amount of money that Carly would have left if she doesn't buy any packs of baseball cards is $20.
<h3>How to calculate the amount of money?</h3>
In order to calculate the amount of money that Carly would have left if she doesn't buy any packs of baseball cards, we would determine the cost of each baseball card as follows:
- Let the cost of each baseball card be x.
- Let the number of cards bought be n.
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
x - n = 16
x - 2n = 12
Solving the simultaneous equations by elimination, we have:
n = 4
Therefore, Carly's minimum balance is given by:
x - n = 16
x = 16 + n
x = 16 + 4
x = $20.

<u>Complete Question:</u>
The graph shows the relationship between the total amount of money that Carly will have left, y, if she buys x packs of baseball cards. How much money will she have if she doesn't buy any packs of baseball cards?
Your answer is the second option, she should choose the rectangular tiles because the total cost will be $8 less.
To find this answer we need to first find the total cost for using square tiles, and the cost for using rectangular tiles, and compare them. We can do this by finding the area of each tile individually, calculating how many tiles we would need, and multiplying this by the cost for one tile:
Square tiles:
The area of one square tile is 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 ft. Therefore we need 40 ÷ 1/4 = 160 tiles. If each tile costs $0.45, this means the total cost will be $0.45 × 160 = $72
Rectangular tiles:
The area of one rectangular tile is 2 × 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 ft. Thus we need 40 ÷ 1/2 = 80 tiles. Each tile costs $0.80, so the total cost will be 80 × $0.80 = $64.
This shows us that the rectangular tiles will be cheaper by $8.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
