Question

the local business will donate $5 for every 10 tickets sold let X represent tickets sold and Y represent dollars donated student a claims that the equation is y equals 2x student B claims that the equation is y equals 1/2 x explain who is correct

Answer 1

Given:

$5 will be donated for every 10 tickets sold.

X represents number of tickets sold

Y represents dollar donated.

The equation will be:

$10X\text{ = 5Y}$

Now let's solve the equation in terms of Y:

Divide both sides by 5

$\begin{gathered} \frac{10X}{5}\text{ = }\frac{5Y}{5} \\ \\ 2X\text{ = Y} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation is:

Y = 2X

Student A is correct
