Question

Elena bought 8 tokens for $4.40

At this rate, how many tokens could she buy with $6.05?

How much do 19 tokens cost?​

Answer 1

She can buy 11 tokens

Explanation:

8/4.40=x/6.05 (i set this up as a proportion. tokens/price=tokens/price)

4.40x=48.8 (cross multiplied)

x= 11 (divided both sides by 4.40)

Answer 2

She could buy 11 tickets with $6.05

19 tokens cost $10.45

Explanation:To find the solutions to the problem given, we will follow the steps below;

There are two questions

For the first question, how many tokens could she buy with $6.05?

Using proportion,

Let x be the number of tokens she could buy with $6.05

8 tokens = $4.40

x = $6.05

cross-multiply

4.40 × x = 8×6.05

4.40x = 48.4

Divide both-side of the equation by 4.40

4.40x/4.40 = 48.4/4.40

x = 11

She could buy 11 tickets with $6.05

For the second question, how much do 19 tokens cost?

Also using proportion;

Let x be the amount 19 tokens cost

8 tokens = $4.40

19 tokens = x

cross-multiply

8×x = 19×$4.40

8x =$83.6

Divide both-side of the equation by 8

8x/8 = $83.6/8

x = $10.45

Therefore, 19 tokens cost $10.45
