Ok,THANKS!
You're very welcome.
To determine how much money Samuel had left after spending half of it on a video game, we need to subtract half the amount from the total amount of money he had initially.
The correct pair of number sentences to determine the remaining money would be:
1. 6 x 20 = 120 (to find the total amount of money Samuel had initially)
2. 120 / 2 = 60 (to calculate half of the initial amount)
So the answer is D. 6 x 20 = 120, 120 / 2 = 60.
Explanation:
In the first step, we multiply the number of $20 bills (6) by the value of each bill (20), which gives us the total amount of money Samuel had initially, which is $120 (6 x 20 = 120).
In the second step, we divide the total amount of money Samuel had initially ($120) by 2 to calculate half of the initial amount. This gives us $60 (120 / 2 = 60).
Therefore, Samuel had $60 left after spending half of his money on the video game.
