Each of the 24 students in Mr. Shaw's homeroom sold 10 tickets to a sports event. How many tickets (x) were sold in the homeroom?
A) 10x = 24 *****
B) 24/10 = x
C) x = 24 + 10
D) x/24 = 10
Assistance of any kind would be appreciated!
not A
D, because both are the ratio of tickets to students
x/24 = 10/1
I mean, clearly 24 students, each selling 10 tickets means 240 tickets wer sold, right?
To find the total number of tickets (x) sold in the homeroom, we need to multiply the number of students (24) by the number of tickets sold by each student (10).
So, the correct answer is:
A) 10x = 24
To find the total number of tickets sold in Mr. Shaw's homeroom, you need to multiply the number of students by the number of tickets each student sold. Let's break it down step by step:
Step 1: Identify the number of students in Mr. Shaw's homeroom.
The problem states that there are 24 students in the homeroom.
Step 2: Determine the number of tickets each student sold.
The problem states that each student sold 10 tickets.
Step 3: Multiply the number of students by the number of tickets each student sold.
To find the total number of tickets sold, you multiply the number of students (24) by the number of tickets each student sold (10):
Total tickets sold = Number of students × Number of tickets per student
Total tickets sold = 24 × 10
Step 4: Calculate the total number of tickets sold.
Multiply 24 by 10 to get the answer:
Total tickets sold = 240
So, the correct answer is A) 10x = 24, which means that 10 times the number of tickets sold (x) is equal to 24. In this case, x = 24, so 240 tickets were sold in Mr. Shaw's homeroom.
