Q. Kendle wants to play several games of laser tag. She has $35 to play g games. Each game of laser tag costs $5.Select the equation that matches this situation.Choose 1 answer:(A) 355=g(B) 535=g(C) g=5×35
Calculate Number of Games: Kendle has a total of $35 to spend on playing laser tag games, and each game costs $5. We need to find the equation that represents the number of games, g, she can play with her $35. To find the number of games she can play, we divide the total amount of money she has by the cost per game. Calculation: $35÷$5=g
Check Given Options: Now we check the given options to see which one matches our calculation.Option (A) 355=g is incorrect because it suggests dividing the cost per game by the total amount of money, which does not give us the number of games.Option (B) 535=g is correct because it represents the total amount of money divided by the cost per game, which gives us the number of games.Option (C) g=5×35 is incorrect because it suggests multiplying the cost per game by the total amount of money, which would give us a much larger number that does not represent the number of games she can play.
