if prizes for a carnival are priced at 5 for 80 cents,how much would 250 prize [1] $4.00 [2]$ 8 00 [3] $40.00 [4] $80.00 [5] not enough information i given. help please
let the cost of 250 prizes be x
x/250 = .8/5
x = 250(.8)/5 = 40
or
unit cost = .80/5 = 16 cents
so 250(16) = 4000 cents = $40
thanks again
To determine the cost of 250 prizes, we need to know the price per prize. However, based on the given information, we can know the cost of a single prize.
If 5 prizes cost 80 cents, we can calculate the cost of one prize by dividing the total cost by the number of prizes:
Cost of one prize = Total cost / Number of prizes
= 80 cents / 5
= 16 cents
Now, we can calculate the cost of 250 prizes:
Cost of 250 prizes = Cost of one prize * Number of prizes
= 16 cents * 250
= $40.00
Therefore, the cost of 250 prizes would be $40.00.
To determine how much 250 prizes would cost, we can start by finding the cost per prize.
Given that 5 prizes cost 80 cents, we can find the cost of one prize by dividing the total cost by the number of prizes:
Cost per prize = Total cost / Number of prizes
Cost per prize = 80 cents / 5
Cost per prize = 16 cents
Now, to find out how much 250 prizes would cost, we can multiply the cost per prize by the number of prizes:
Total cost = Cost per prize x Number of prizes
Total cost = 16 cents x 250
To calculate the total cost in dollars, we need to convert cents to dollars by dividing by 100:
Total cost = (16 cents x 250) / 100
Total cost = $<<16*250/100=40.00>>40.00
Therefore, the cost of 250 prizes would be $40.00.
Option [3] $40.00 is the correct answer.
