Answer:

Explanation:

The answer is 2. Let's make an equation:

if you know the numbers of both A's and B's you would make something like this to find out how much money Sarah got.

25a + 10b

where a is the number of A's sarah gets and b is the number of B's Sarah gets.

we know how much she got so let's add that:

25a + 10b = 80

we also know the number of B's Sarah got, 3.

25a + 10(3) = 80

simplify:

25a + 30 = 80

now we solve for a by getting it by its self, we can move 30 to the right side of the equation by subtracting 30 from both sides:

25a + 30 = 80

-30 -30

=> 25a = 50

since we did the same thing to both sides of the equation it is still true. We can now further isolate a by dividing both sides by 25

25a = 50

/25 /25

=> a = 2

we now isolated a and we can see that it equals two, therefor Sarah got 2 A's on her report card

Answer:

She has 2 A's

Explanation:

If she had 3 B's then it would be 30 dollars.

You would then subtract 30 dollars from the 80 dollars.

That leaves you with 50.

you then divide 50 by 25...

leaving you with two!

Hope this helps!
