Question

Write an equation that relates the amount of tickets purchased (t) to the amount of money earned (d). When the ratio is 500/100. Explain how you found your equation

Answer 1

The ratio between the amoun of tickets and the amount of money earned is given by:

$k=\frac{t}{d}$

plugging the ratio ans solving for t we have:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{500}{100}=\frac{t}{d} \\ t=5d \end{gathered}$

Therefore the answer is the second option.
