Answer:

c. 5x - 3 = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances this week because they didn't finish their chores. They then received a total of $125 in allowance. a. 5(x - 3) = 125

b. 5x - 15 = 125

c. 5x - 3 = 125

d. 5x = 140

Solution:

Let x represent the allowance for each of Mrs. Jones children. Since she deducts $3 from each children because they didn't finish their chores, the allowance for each child becomes x - 3.

There are 5 children, hence the allowance for the 5 children would be:

5(x-3)

Since they received a total of $125 in allowance, hence:

5(x-3) = 125

5x - 15 = 125

5x = 125 + 15

5x = 140

Option c is wrong

Yolanda’s club require that 60% of the members be present for any vote. If at least 30 members must be present to have a vote ho
balandron [24]
We can rewrite this problem as:
What is 60% of 35?
"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 60% can be written as
60
100
.
When dealing with percents the word "of" means "times" or "to multiply".
Finally, lets call the number of members we are looking for "m".
Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for
m
while keeping the equation balanced:
m
=
60
100
×
35
m
=
2100
100
m
=
