Q. Jamahl wants to celebrate his birthday by roller skating with his friends. He has a total of $45 to buy t tickets. Each ticket costs $5.Select the equation that matches this situation.Choose 1 answer:(A) t=5×45(B) 45=5t(C) 455=t
Calculate Total Cost: Jamahl has a total of $45 to spend on tickets, and each ticket costs $5. We need to find the relationship between the total amount of money ($45), the cost per ticket ($5), and the number of tickets (t) he can buy.To find the total cost of t tickets, we multiply the number of tickets by the cost per ticket. The equation representing this situation is:Total cost = Number of tickets × Cost per ticket
Write Equation: Since the total cost is $45 and the cost per ticket is $5, we can write the equation as:$45=t×$5This equation shows that the total amount of money Jamahl has is equal to the number of tickets he can buy times the cost of each ticket.
Simplify Equation: We can simplify the equation by dividing both sides by $5 to solve for t:$5$45=t×$5$5This simplifies to:9=tHowever, this is not one of the options provided, and we are not asked to solve for t, but to select the correct equation that matches the situation. The correct equation is the one that shows the total amount of money is equal to the number of tickets times the cost per ticket, which is option (B) 45=5t.
