3) Tara sold candles to raise money for new playground equipment at her school.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ronch [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.

Step-by-step explanation:

50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.

2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.

The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).

Amuseumcharges forgeneraladmission and exhibitions. Admission and 3 exhibitionscosts $45. Admission and 5 exhibitionscosts $65.
leonid [27]

Answer:

The price of the admission is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, you can write the following equations:

a+3e=45 (1)

a+5e=65 (2), where:

a is the admission cost

e is the exhibition cost

First, you can solve for a in (1):

a=45-3e (3)

Second, you can replace (3) in (2):

45-3e+5e=65

45+2e=65

2e=65-45

2e=20

e=20/2

e=10

Finally, you can replace the value of e in (3):

a=45-3e

a=45-3(10)

a=45-30

a=15

According to this, the price of the admission is 15.
