Q. Gina wants to go to the water park with her friends. They have a total of w dollars to buy 5 tickets. Each ticket costs 15 dollars.Select the equation that matches this situation.Choose 1 answer:(A) w=5×15(B) 5=15×w(C) w=15+5
Determine Cost of Ticket: Determine the cost of one ticket. Each ticket costs $\(15\) dollars.
Calculate Total Cost: Calculate the total cost for \(5\) tickets.\(\newline\)Total cost for \(5\) tickets = Cost of one ticket \(\times\) Number of tickets\(\newline\)= \(15\) dollars \(\times\) \(5\)\(\newline\)= \(75\) dollars
Set Up Equation: Set up the equation that represents the total amount of money \(w\) needed to buy \(5\) tickets.\(\newline\)\(w =\) Total cost for \(5\) tickets\(\newline\)\(w = 75\) dollars
Compare Equations: Compare the equation with the given choices.\(\newline\)The correct equation that matches the situation is \(w = 5 \times 15\), which simplifies to \(w = 75\).\(\newline\)This matches choice \((A)\).
