Marcel and Floyd are playing games at an arcade. Marcel has $8.25 and is only playing $0.25 games. Floyd has $9.75 and is only p

laying $0.75 games. Jorge wants to find the number of games after which Marcel and Floyd will have the same amount of money remaining. Jorge’s work is shown below.
Let x = the number of games played.

Equation: 8.25 minus 0.25 x = 9.75 minus 0.75 x. Step 1: negative 1.50 minus 0.25 x = negative 0.75 x. Step 2: negative 1.50 = 0.50 x. Step 3: negative 3 = x.


Jorge knows his answer is incorrect because it does not make sense to have a negative number of games. What is Jorge’s error?
The variable x should represent the amount of money left.
From Step 1 to Step 2, Jorge did not add 0.25x correctly to both sides.
The equation should have sums on both sides.
From Step 2 to Step 3, Jorge should have subtracted 0.50x from both sides.

irga5000 [103]
To find the experimental probability, you will add the outcomes that resulted in even number and make that a ratio to the total number of outcomes.

<u>(12 + 14 + 18)</u>
(13 + 12 + 12 +14 + 11 + 18)

44/80 = 0.55
0.55 = 55%

Vedmedyk [2.9K]
Commutative means that you can mix up the numbers, but still have the right answer.

2 x 10 x 7 =
2 x 7 x 10 =
10 x 2 x 7 = 
10 x 7 x 2 =
7 x 2 x 10 = 
7 x 10 x 2 

Hope this helps :)
