Question

I need help with number 40 and 41 please, lots of points!!!

Answer 1

#40: There are 40 people in the youth group. If you multiply 5 and 8 by 5 it equals 25/40 (the number going on the ski trip)

Answer 2

Q41 - using equations

Let y be the price of a basketball.

y+1.5y=37.70 (a basketball plus a football costs 37.70)

2.5y=37.70

y=15.08

The basketball costs $15.08.

Since the football is 2y, it costs $30.16.
