Christine(C) and Ty(T) save quarters in a jar together. The jar had $28 in it, then Christine put in C quarters and Ty put in T quarters. Which expression can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now?
Let's say Christine put in C quarters and Ty put in T quarters. Since each quarter is worth $0.25, the total value of the quarters they put in is 0.25C + 0.25T.
The initial amount of money in the jar was $28, so we need to subtract the initial amount from the total value of the quarters they put in. Therefore, the expression representing the amount of money in the jar now is 0.25C + 0.25T - 28.
To represent the amount of money in the jar now, we need to consider the value of quarters contributed by both Christine and Ty.
The value of one quarter is $0.25. Therefore, Christine's contribution would be C * $0.25 and Ty's contribution would be T * $0.25.
To find the total amount of money in the jar now, we can add Christine's and Ty's contributions to the initial amount of $28.
The expression that represents the amount of money in the jar now is:
$28 + (C * $0.25) + (T * $0.25)
The expression that can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now is:
$28 + (0.25C + 0.25T)
