Question

A the end of a soccer season, four families decide to buy the coach a gif certificate to a sporting goods store. Each family contributes $35 towards the gift certificate. Write and solve a division equation to find how much the gift certificate is worth

Answer 1

Answer: The value of the gift certificate is $140.

Explanation:

Let the worth of gift certificate be 'x'.

Number of families = 4

Amount that each family is contributing = $35

According to question, we need to write a division equation:

`(x)/(35)=4\\\\x=35* 4\\\\x=\$140`

So, the value of the gift certificate is $140.
