Q. At Wild West amusement park, Grace's favorite ride is the Blazing Bullet roller coaster. There are 1010 cars on the Blazing Bullet, and each car can hold the same number of people. A total of 4040 people can ride on the Blazing Bullet at one time.\newlineWhich equation can you use to find the number of people nn each car can hold?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) n/10=40n/10 = 40\newline(B) n10=40n - 10 = 40\newline(C) 10n=4010n = 40\newline(D) n+10=40n + 10 = 40\newlineSolve this equation for nn to find the number of people each car can hold.\newline____ people\newline
  1. Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation to represent the situation: There are 1010 cars and a total of 4040 people can ride at once. We need to find how many people each car can hold, so we divide the total number of people by the number of cars. The correct equation is 10n=4010n = 40, where nn is the number of people per car.
  2. Solve Equation: Solve the equation 10n=4010n = 40: Divide both sides by 1010 to isolate nn. \newlinen = rac{40}{10}\newlinen=4n = 4.
