Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem. The total amount for the gift card is g dollars, and each student contributed 5 dollars. We need to find out how many students contributed.
Set up the equation: Step 2: Set up the equation. If each student contributed 5, and the total is g dollars, then the number of students, let's call it n, can be calculated by dividing the total amount g by the amount each student contributed, which is 5. So, n=5g.
Match the expression: Step 3: Match the expression with the choices given. The expression n=5g corresponds to choice (A) 5g.
