Answer:
A. 25y = $930.75
B. Each ticket costs $37.23.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
25y = $930.75
We have this equation with two given facts:
25 × y = $930.75 and $930.75 ÷ 25 = y
The second equation which shows $930.75 ÷ 25 = y is not an equation we will use, because when you start solving it <em>using algebra</em> the following occurs:
$930.75 ÷ 25 = y
Multiply each side by 25.
$930.75 ÷ 25 × 25 = y × 25
$930.75 = 25y or 25y = $930.75
So you should answer with 25y = $930.75, because $930.75 ÷ 25 = y is simplified to that.
<u>Part B:</u>
25y ÷ 25 = $930.75 ÷ 25
y = $37.23
<em>Check:</em>
$37.23 × 25 = $930.75
We know our answer is correct.
