Question

A class has $140 for tickets to a science museum. The teacher writes $140÷10=14. Alma says that tickets are $14 each. Mohamed says that $14 students are going on the trip. Who is correct?

Answer 1

Alma was definitely correct to say that the tickets are $14 each.

The total amount in dollars the class have for tickets to the science museum

is $140.

The teacher writes as follows:

• 140 ÷ 10 = 14

Alma says the tickets are $14 each.

Mohammed says that 14 students are going for the trip

The teacher divided 140 by 10. This means the number of student in the class is 10 not 14 as Mohammed enunciated.

The teacher divided the total amount available for the ticket($140) by the number of student in the class(10). Then the quotient ($14) is the amount in dollars which each student will pay for the ticket to the science museum.

Therefore, Alma was definitely correct.
