Mary used the equation x = $4 * y to represent the table above. What mistake did she make, and what should the correct equation be to represent this table?
Mary removed the dollar sign from (X.) We know this because $4.00x$5.00=$20.00 so that’s correct and we know that $12.50x $4.00=$50.00. So, our only error here is that there is no dollar sign in our (X) numbers. So that is Mary’s mistake. We can correct it by simply adding a dollar sign to 20 to make $20.00 and adding another dollar sign to 50 to make $50.00
