At the end of the year, Mrs. Weeks bought an assortment of new balls to
replace some of the old ones. She had $150.00 to spend. Describe two
different ways that Mrs. Weeks could spend her money if she bought at least
two of each of the balls.
Use coins or cut out the manipulatives on the next page to help you act out
the problem. ball prices: football: $8 basket ball: $9 baseball: $7 softball: $5
Option 1:
Mrs. Weeks could buy 10 footballs ($80), 7 basketballs ($63), and 4 softballs ($20).
Total cost: $80 + $63 + $20 = $163 (over budget)
Option 2:
Mrs. Weeks could buy 6 footballs ($48), 9 basketballs ($81), 11 baseballs ($77), and 10 softballs ($50).
Total cost: $48 + $81 + $77 + $50 = $256 (over budget)
Note: Both options exceed the budget of $150, so Mrs. Weeks would need to adjust the quantities accordingly in order to stay within her budget.
how would i state it with coins
Option 1:
Mrs. Weeks could buy 10 footballs (10 x $8 = $80) using 80 one-dollar bills, 7 basketballs (7 x $9 = $63) using 60 one-dollar bills and 3 quarters, and 4 softballs (4 x $5 = $20) using 20 one-dollar bills.
Total cost: $80 + $63 + $20 = $163 (over budget)
Option 2:
Mrs. Weeks could buy 6 footballs (6 x $8 = $48) using 40 one-dollar bills, 9 basketballs (9 x $9 = $81) using 80 one-dollar bills and 1 quarter, 11 baseballs (11 x $7 = $77) using 50 one-dollar bills and 2 quarters, and 10 softballs (10 x $5 = $50) using 50 one-dollar bills.
Total cost: $48 + $81 + $77 + $50 = $256 (over budget)
Again, note that both options exceed the budget of $150, so adjustments need to be made. Also note that actual coins may not be necessary for such transactions, but they can be used as manipulatives to help visualize the problem.

Let's calculate the different ways Mrs. Weeks could spend her money on the new balls.
Option 1: Mrs. Weeks buys two of each ball.
Considering the prices of each ball, the total cost for two of each ball would be:
Football: $8 * 2 = $16
Basketball: $9 * 2 = $18
Baseball: $7 * 2 = $14
Softball: $5 * 2 = $10
Adding up the costs, we get:
Total cost for two of each ball = $16 + $18 + $14 + $10 = $58
So, if Mrs. Weeks buys two of each ball, she would spend $58.
Option 2: Mrs. Weeks buys three footballs, two basketballs, two baseballs, and two softballs.
Considering the prices of each ball, the total cost for this option would be:
Football: $8 * 3 = $24
Basketball: $9 * 2 = $18
Baseball: $7 * 2 = $14
Softball: $5 * 2 = $10
Adding up the costs, we get:
Total cost for three footballs, two basketballs, two baseballs, and two softballs = $24 + $18 + $14 + $10 = $66
So, if Mrs. Weeks buys three footballs, two basketballs, two baseballs, and two softballs, she would spend $66.
Therefore, Mrs. Weeks could spend her $150 in two different ways:
1. By buying two of each ball, she would spend $58.
2. By buying three footballs, two basketballs, two baseballs, and two softballs, she would spend $66.
To find different ways Mrs. Weeks could spend her money on the assortment of new balls, we can start by listing the prices of each ball:
Football: $8
Basketball: $9
Baseball: $7
Softball: $5
Let's consider two different ways Mrs. Weeks could spend her $150 by buying at least two of each ball.
Option 1:
To ensure Mrs. Weeks buys at least two of each ball, let's consider buying 2 footballs, 2 basketballs, 2 baseballs, and 2 softballs.
2 × (Football: $8) = $16
2 × (Basketball: $9) = $18
2 × (Baseball: $7) = $14
2 × (Softball: $5) = $10
Total: $16 + $18 + $14 + $10 = $58
So, Mrs. Weeks can spend $58 if she buys two of each ball.
Option 2:
Now, let's think about another way to spend the money by buying two of each ball but with a different combination.
2 × (Football: $8) = $16
3 × (Basketball: $9) = $27
2 × (Baseball: $7) = $14
3 × (Softball: $5) = $15
Total: $16 + $27 + $14 + $15 = $72
Therefore, Mrs. Weeks can spend $72 if she buys two of each ball using this combination.
These are two different ways Mrs. Weeks could spend her money on the assortment of new balls while buying at least two of each ball.
