Choose a value for d that is greater than $25 and less than $100. Calculate the

Question

Create an attractive image conceptualizing the given situation. The scene shows a math equation inscribed on a blackboard where the variable 'd' falls in the range between a stack of 25 dollar bills and a pile of 100 dollar bills. There are two children there, a Hispanic girl and a Middle Eastern boy who seem to be in thought about the solution. Beside them, display a selection of various presents ranging in price. Some presents are unwrapped, while some are wrapped in colourful festive paper with ribbons and bows. Remember not to include any text in the image.

Choose a value for d that is greater than $25 and less than $100. Calculate the

total cost of each of the possible presents for the value you chose. Then write a
short paragraph telling Winona and Takoda which present they should buy and
explaining why.

Answer 1

Let's choose a value for d as $50. Given that the DVD player costs $20, the MP3 player costs $30, and the game controller costs $15, we can calculate the total cost for each present:

- DVD player: $20
- MP3 player: $30
- Game controller: $15
- Present A: $20 + $30 = $50
- Present B: $20 + $15 = $35
- Present C: $30 + $15 = $45

Based on the calculations, Winona and Takoda should buy Present A, which consists of both the DVD player and the MP3 player, for a total cost of $50. This present is a better choice since it includes two different items for the same cost as the individual MP3 player (Present C) and is only slightly more expensive than the game controller (Present B). Therefore, Present A provides better value for money and offers a greater variety of entertainment options for the recipient.
