EXPLANATION

#28 Let's see the facts:

Number of 0.42c stickers that could be purchased with $10:

Jake's equation:


Number_{\text{ }}0.42cstickers=(10)/(0.42)=23.8\text{ }\approx24\text{stickers}

Claire's equation:


0.425s=10

Isolating s:


s=(10)/(0.425)=23.8\approx24\text{ stickers}

Jake and Claire are both correct; therefore, the number of stickers is 24.
