Min and Jessica collected 60 plastic bottles. They divided the plastic bottles evenly between them and sold the bottles to a recycling center for 10 cents each. Let n represent the amount of money, in cents, that Min and Jessica each earned from the recycling center. Which equation could be used to find the amount of money Min and Jessica each earned? n = 60 × 2 × 10 n = 60 ÷ 2 ÷ 10 n = 60 ÷ 2 × 10 n = 60 × 2 × 10

Min and Jessica have 60 they divide them evenly so then you have 60/2. They made 10 cents for each bottle sold.

So they each earned:

60÷2 x 10
