Lee scored 25 points in yesterday's game. That was 3 more than twice the number of points Alex scored.
Which equation can be used to find, a, the number of points Alex scored?
A.
25 + 3 = 2a
B.
25 = 3 + 2a
C.
2(25) + 3 = a
D.
2(25) = 3 + a
D.
2(25) = 3 + a
Last week, Ellen bought 4 apples for $2.40. This week she bought 9 apples for $5.40. If the cost per apple remains the same, how many apples could she buy next week?
To find out how many apples Ellen could buy next week, we need to determine the cost per apple and then divide the amount of money Ellen has by the cost per apple.
To find the cost per apple, we can first determine the amount Ellen paid for each apple last week:
$2.40 / 4 apples = $0.60 per apple
Since the cost per apple remains the same, we can use this value to find out how many apples Ellen could buy with her money next week:
$5.40 / $0.60 per apple = 9 apples
Therefore, Ellen could buy 9 apples next week with her money.
Last week, Ellen bought 4 apples for $2.40. This week she bought 9 apples for $5.40. If the cost per apple remains the same, how many apples could she buy next week?
A.
1 apple for $1.20
B.
6 apples for $3.40
C.
10 apples for $6.00
D.
13 apples for $8.20
To find out how many apples Ellen could buy next week, we need to determine the cost per apple and then divide the amount of money Ellen has by the cost per apple.
To find the cost per apple, we can first determine the amount Ellen paid for each apple:
For last week:
$2.40 / 4 apples = $0.60 per apple
For this week:
$5.40 / 9 apples = $0.60 per apple
Since the cost per apple remains the same, we can use this value to find out how many apples Ellen could buy with her money next week:
Dividing by $0.60 per apple:
$8.20 / $0.60 per apple = 13.6666
Since we cannot buy a fraction of an apple, the answer is D. 13 apples for $8.20.
are you sure
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. You are correct, it is not possible to buy a fraction of an apple. Let's recalculate based on the given information:
The cost per apple remains the same, so we can determine the cost per apple by dividing the total cost by the number of apples.
For last week:
$2.40 / 4 apples = $0.60 per apple
For this week:
$5.40 / 9 apples = $0.60 per apple
So, the cost per apple is consistent at $0.60.
To find out how many apples Ellen could buy next week, we can divide the amount of money she has by the cost per apple:
Total cost available next week / Cost per apple = Number of apples she could buy next week
$8.20 / $0.60 per apple = 13.6666
Since we can't buy a fraction of an apple, the maximum number of apples Ellen could buy next week would be 13.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 13 apples for $8.20.
