Question

Ivy's basketball team scored 38 points in the first game of the season. In the next two games they scored a total of 77 points. For every point scored, $0.50 is put in a jar to use for a party after the season. Ivy says that you can use the expression 38 + 77 0.5 to find how much money is in the jar after the third game. Is she correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Game 1= 38 points

Game 2-3= 77 points

They put $0.5 for each point made. The total amount of money expression would be:

Total money= 0.5*x

x= number of points

In this scenario:

Total money= 0.5*(38 + 77)

Total money= 0.5* 115

Total money= $57.5
