The practice range at a golf course charges $4.00 for a bucket of 40 golf balls.At this rate how much will a bucket of 100 golf balls cost?
Ain't nobody said anything about x. You have to divide 40 by 4 and then when you find that answer divide it by 100
Ain't nobody said anything about x. you have to divide 40 by 4 and then when you find that answer divide it by 100
To find out how much a bucket of 100 golf balls will cost at the same rate, we can use the idea of proportionality.
First, let's determine the cost per golf ball. Since a bucket of 40 golf balls costs $4.00, we can calculate the cost per ball by dividing the total cost ($4.00) by the number of balls in the bucket (40):
Cost per ball = Total cost / Number of balls
Cost per ball = $4.00 / 40
Cost per ball = $0.10
So, each golf ball costs $0.10.
Next, let's calculate the cost of a bucket with 100 golf balls. We'll again use the proportionality concept:
Cost of 100 golf balls = Cost per ball × Number of balls
Cost of 100 golf balls = $0.10 × 100
Calculating the multiplication:
Cost of 100 golf balls = $10.00
Therefore, a bucket of 100 golf balls will cost $10.00 at the same rate.
4/40 = x/100
Cross multiply and solve for x.
