Final answer:
In evaluating if 10 is a solution for the number of candies bought with $2 where each candy is 25 cents, we find that substituting 10 into the equation 0.25h does not equal $2; therefore, 10 is not a solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question involves determining whether the number 10 is a solution to the equation describing the total cost of pieces of candy.
If each piece of candy costs 25 cents, the price for h pieces of candy can be computed using the equation 0.25h dollars.
Given that the total cost is $2.00, we set the equation equal to 2: 0.25h = 2.
To check if 10 is a solution, we substitute h with 10 and see if the equation holds true:
0.25(10) = 2.50,
which does not equal $2.00, so 10 is not a solution.
