at the end of a soccer game season four families decide to buy the coach of gift certificate to a sporting goods store. each family contributes $35 towards the gift certificate. write and solve a division equation to find how much the gift certificate is worth
x/4 = 35
140
Right.
To find out how much the gift certificate is worth, we need to divide the total amount contributed by the four families by the number of families.
Let's assume there are four families contributing $35 each. To get the total amount, we can multiply the contribution per family by the number of families, which is 4 in this case:
Total amount contributed = $35 x 4
Simplifying the expression:
Total amount contributed = $140
Therefore, the gift certificate is worth $140.
