Answer 1

Five friends want to rent a go-cart track that costs $100. They already have $20.

How much more does each friend need to contribute if they each contribute the same amount?

Let x represent any unknown value in the problem.

Select each correct answer.

When writing an equation to solve this problem, x should represent the amount each friend needs to contribute.

When writing an equation to solve this problem, x should represent the total amount the friends need to contribute.

When writing an equation to solve this problem, x should represent the total cost to rent the go-cart track.

The equation 5x+20=100 can be used to solve this problem.

Answer 6

What?

Answer 7

Oh, nvm

Answer 8

From the step 5x + 20 = 100 to 5(x+20) =100 and then x+20 =100 are wrong steps.
you need to proceed from 5x + 20 = 100 to 5x = 100-20=80 and then x = 80/5.

Answer 9

Just tell how much total amount they need to contribute?

Answer 10

I just need to find which ways would equal how much they need to contribute

Answer 11

So they need a total of 100 dollars. They already have 20.

The friends need to pitch in equal amount of money to make up for the remaining.

Let's say each friend pitches in x dollars.

5x is the remaining amount of money they need to pitch in, besides the 20 dollars, to make 100 dollars.

Can you write an equation for that?
