Q. Gina wants to go to the water park with her friends. They have a total of w w dollars to buy 55 tickets. Each ticket costs 1515 dollars.\newlineSelect the equation that matches this situation.\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) w=5×15 w=5 \times 15 \newline(B) 5=15×w 5=15 \times w \newline(C) w=15+5 w=15+5
  1. Determine Cost of Ticket: Determine the cost of one ticket. Each ticket costs $\(15\) dollars.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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 \((A)\).
