Question

There are 200 adults and 250 children who will attend the pancake dinner. The goal is to raise $3,800. Let x be the price for adults and y be the price for children. Write an equation to represent the total amount of money raised.

List some possible combinations of prices for adults and children, rounded to the nearest hundredths place.

(Choose 4 out of 6)

(A) $0 per adult, $15.20 per child
(B) $10 per adult, $5.84 per child
(C) $15 per adult, $0.68 per child
(D) $20 per adult, -$4.56 per child
(E) $25 per adult, -$9.80 per child
(F) $30 per adult, -$15.04 per child

Answer 1

The equation that represents the total amount of money raised is (Number of adults)(price per adult) + (Number of children)(price per child). The possible combinations of prices for adults and children and their corresponding total amounts of money raised are listed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the total amount of money raised is:

Total = (Number of adults)(price per adult) + (Number of children)(price per child)

Let's use the given combinations of prices for adults and children to calculate the total amount of money raised for each combination:

1. Combination (A): Total = (200)(0) + (250)(15.20) = $3800
2. Combination (B): Total = (200)(10) + (250)(5.84) = $4380
3. Combination (C): Total = (200)(15) + (250)(0.68) = $3900
4. Combination (D): Total = (200)(20) + (250)(-4.56) = $3700
