deyonne made 25% more cookies than cameron. they have sold the cookies for $0.50 each. let x represent the number of cookies the cameron made. whcih of the following expressions repersent possible revenue from the sales.
sleact all that apply
0.50[x+(x+0.25x)}
0.50(x+0.25x)
0.50(x+1.25x)
0.50(0.75x+x)
0.50(1.75x)
0.50(2.25x)
and explain why
The correct expression that represents the possible revenue from the sales is:
0.50(x+0.25x)
This expression represents the total number of cookies made by Cameron (x) and the 25% more cookies made by Deyonne (0.25x), multiplied by the price per cookie ($0.50).
Explanation:
The expression 0.50[x+(x+0.25x)] is incorrect because it is adding the total number of cookies made by Cameron (x) with the total number of cookies made by Deyonne (x+0.25x), and then multiplying by the price per cookie ($0.50). This would lead to double counting the total number of cookies made.
The expression 0.50(x+1.25x) is incorrect because it represents the total number of cookies made by Cameron (x) plus 1.25 times the number of cookies made by Cameron (1.25x), multiplied by the price per cookie ($0.50). This would also lead to double counting the total number of cookies made.
The expression 0.50(0.75x+x) is incorrect because it is adding 0.75 times the number of cookies made by Cameron (0.75x) with the number of cookies made by Cameron (x), and then multiplying by the price per cookie ($0.50). This would lead to double counting the total number of cookies made.
The expression 0.50(1.75x) is incorrect because it represents 1.75 times the number of cookies made by Cameron (1.75x), multiplied by the price per cookie ($0.50). This does not consider the additional 25% more cookies made by Deyonne.
The expression 0.50(2.25x) is incorrect because it represents 2.25 times the number of cookies made by Cameron (2.25x), multiplied by the price per cookie ($0.50). This does not accurately represent the total number of cookies made.
Only the expression 0.50(x+0.25x) accurately represents the number of cookies made by both Cameron and Deyonne, multiplied by the price per cookie.
