Question

1) Alexa won 80 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school's game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends.

Answer 1

Answer:1 is 36 friends. 2 is $24 as her weekly allowance. 3 is 37 students on each bus

Step-by-step explanation:1. 80-8 because 8 is the amount she has left. You would get 76 which is the amount she gave away. Then you divide 76 by 2 because she gave 2 balls to 1 friend. Then you get the amount of friends she has.

2. When we read the problem it says she spent half of her allowance on mini golf. The half is very important. She earns $20 from cleaning her parent’s car and ends up with $32 all you do is subtract the $20 from $32 because it’ll leave you with 1/2 the money she began with (32-20=12). Then she she already spent half of the money you can either add 12 or multiply the 12 by 2 to get your answer (12+12=24 or 12•2=24).

3.(229-5) you’re subtracting 5 from the 229 students because 5 of them traveled in car. Then you do 224 students divided by 6 buses and you should get 37 students per bus.
