A book store bought 160 copies of a book for $4,000. How much money will they loose if they give away 2 books. show in ratio table form. Every book costs $25 so the store would loose $50 but how do you put that in a ratio table?

To represent the loss of money in a ratio table, we can create a table with two columns: "Books" and "Money."

First, let's calculate the total value of all the books:
160 copies x $25 per copy = $4,000

Now, let's find out the value of two books:
2 books x $25 per book = $50

To create the ratio table, we need to represent these values proportionally. Let's set up the table:

| Books | Money |
|-------|-------|
| 160 | $4,000 |
| 2 | $50 |

To calculate the ratio, we divide the number of books and the amount of money by the same value. In this case, dividing both sides by 2 would yield:

| Books | Money |
|-------|---------|
| 80 | $2,000 |
| 1 | $25 |

This table shows that for every 1 book given away, the store loses $25. Therefore, if 2 books are given away, the store would lose $50.

To find out how much money the bookstore will lose if they give away 2 books, we need to calculate the cost of 2 books first.

We know that every book costs $25, so 2 books will cost 2 * $25 = $50.

Now let's create a ratio table to compare the amount of money spent on all the books and the amount lost by giving away 2 books:

| Books | Money Spent | Money Lost |
----------------------------------------
| 160 | $4,000 | ??? |

To determine the money lost, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of books to money spent:

160 books / $4,000 = 2 books / $???

To find the missing value in the table, we can cross-multiply:

160 * $??? = 2 * $4,000

Now we can solve for $???:

160 * $??? = $8,000

Dividing both sides of the equation by 160, we get:

$??? = $8,000 / 160

$??? = $50

Therefore, the missing value in the ratio table is $50. The table can be completed as follows:

| Books | Money Spent | Money Lost |
----------------------------------------
| 160 | $4,000 | $50 |

Thus, the bookstore would lose $50 if they give away 2 books.
