Mariah wants to buy as many collectible dolls as possible, for $4.50 each. If she has $75.00 to spend, how many dolls can she buy? Which equation represents this situation?(1 point)Responses
To find out how many dolls Mariah can buy, we need to divide her total budget by the price of each doll.
The equation that represents this situation is:
Total number of dolls = Total budget ÷ Price per doll
Total budget = $75.00
Price per doll = $4.50
Total number of dolls = $75.00 ÷ $4.50
To determine how many dolls Mariah can buy, we need to divide the total amount she has to spend ($75.00) by the cost of each doll ($4.50). This can be calculated by using the division operation.
The equation that represents this situation is:
Number of dolls = Total amount / Cost per doll
In this case, the equation would be:
Number of dolls = $75.00 / $4.50
To calculate the number of dolls, simply divide $75.00 by $4.50:
Number of dolls = 75 / 4.5
Using a calculator, the answer would be:
Number of dolls ≈ 16.67
Since we can't have a fraction of a doll, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Mariah can buy 16 dolls.
The equation that represents this situation is:
4.50x ≤ 75
Where x represents the number of collectible dolls Mariah can buy.
