Question

In a video game, Clare scored 50% more points than Tyler. If c is the number of points that Clare scored and t is the number of points that Tyler scored, which equations are correct? Select all that apply.

the options are
A. c=1.5t
B.c=t+0.5
C. c=t+0.5t
D. c=t+50
E.c=(1+0.5)t

Answer 1

c=(1+50%)t
c=1.5t
answer is A

Answer 2

A, C and E

Explanation:

Clare scored the same points as Tyler plus 50% more of Tyler's points. To find a 50% of an amount, you must multiply it by 0.5 (50% of Tyler points is 0.5t ), So Clare scored:

c = t + 0.5t⇒ wich means she scored Tylers points t plus a 50% or 0.5t

Or what is the same:

c = 1.5t

So far we have that options A and C are correct.

But option E is also correct, since solvig the parenthesis we have:

c = (1 + 0.5)t = 1.5t, wich we already found to be correct.

In summary, A, C and D are correct
