Question

You are throwing a party at an arcade. You recieve 5 tokens for every dollar spent. Create an equation that describes this situation. T is the total number of tokens and D is the number of dollars.

Answer 1

Answer: 5D = T

Explanation:

A dollar spent will give 5 tokens.

The amount of dollars spent therefore will increase the number of tokens you by fivefold.

Formula is therefore:

5D = T

Testing it.

Assume you spent 5 dollars, how many tokens would you have:

5D = T

5 * 5 = 25 tokens
