Victoria spent one-fourth of her birthday money on clothes. She received another $25 a week later. If she has a total of $70 now

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

she had $60 before she went for shopping

Step-by-step explanation:

PLZ MARK BRAINLIEST

Let x represent the amount of money that Victoria had before she went for shopping.

Victoria spent one-fourth or her birthday money on clothes. It means that the amount she spent on shopping is 1/4 × x = x/4. Amount that she was having left would be x - x/4 = 3x/4

She received another 25$ a week later. The amount that she is having at this point will be 3x/4 + 25

If she has a total of 70$ now, it means that

3x/4 + 25 = 70

Multiplying through by 4

3x + 100 = 280

3x ,= 280 - 100 = 180

x = 180/3 = 60

Three of the choices are ways to express 0.50. Which is NOT?

Ganezh [65]

Option B

5 hundredths is not the way to express 0.50

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Three of the choices are ways to express 0.50

To find: wrong option

Let us first write 0.50 in different ways

<h3><em><u>To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these steps: </u></em></h3>

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1.

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. ...

Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.

$\rightarrow 0.50 = \frac{0.50 \times 100}{100} = \frac{50}{100}$

$\frac{50}{100}$ means 50 hundredths

<h3>Therefore option D is correct</h3>

On simplifying $\frac{50}{100}$ we can write,

$\rightarrow \frac{50}{100} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}$ means one half

<h3>Therefore option A (one half) is correct</h3>

Similarly, \frac{5}{10} means 5 tenths

<h3>Therefore Option C is also correct</h3>

Thus the wrong option is B

<em><u>Justification:</u></em>

5 hundredths can be written as:

$\frac{5}{100} = 0.05$

Therefore option B is wrong
