t would represent the total number of tickets sold

d would represent the duration of the play

s would represent the cost of each student ticket and p would represent the cost for each parent ticket

s would repesent the number of student tickets bought and p would represent the number of parent tickets


he said would it be C ?

number of students * cost per each student will give total cost for students.
here, cost per each student is given and is constant = 3$
number of students is a variable, which can be represented by s

A new cell phone plan charges $o.o7 per minute for calls and $0.15 per text message sent. What would be the best choices for variables when writing an equation for the cell phone bill?

a would represent the number of minutes for calls and b would represent the number of text messages

m would represent the number of minutes for calls and t would represent the number of text messages

c would represent the cost of both calls and text messages

t would represent the total number of calls and test messages sent

he said would it be A?

Answer 49

the difference in choices A and B is just the variable names.

so, the so called "best" choice will be to take number of "m"inutes for call as 'm'
and number of "t"ext messages as 't'
got this ?

Answer 50

he said he sees now :D

Answer 51

cool, so he should select B :)

Answer 52

which equation best describes the pattern below

minutes elapsed (t) points (P)
1 200
2 400
3 600

p=20t
t=20p
p=200t
t=200p

he said would it be D?

Answer 53

no,
take t=1, p= 200 means 200*1 (note: here 1 is the value of t)
so in general, p = 200*t
got his ?

Answer 54

It is B.

Answer 55

nopes, not B

Answer 56

Answer 57

minutes cost

80 $40.00

c = .50m

c=.50/m

m=.50c

m=.50/c

he siad its either C or D

Answer 62

note that cost(c) is half(0.5) of minutes(m)!
so, c= 0.5 m
got this?

Answer 63
