Question

This equation shows how Rita's video game score is related to the number of coins she collects. p = 20c The variable c represents the number of coins she collects, and the variable p represents the total points she scores. How many coins does Rita have to collect to score a total of 20 points?
blank coins

Answer 1

Answer:

1 coin

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that c is number of coins, p the points collected and 20 is the constant.

-The equation for total points is p=20c, therefore, we calculate the number of coins as:

$p=20c, \ p=20\\\\20=20c\\\\c=1$

#Hence, Rita only has to collect 1 coin to earn 20 points.
