Question

Kate had 50 tickets to use for rides at the fair. She lost some of them. Her dad doubled the tickets she had left. Kate wrote the expression 2(50−t) to find the number of tickets she has now, where t is the number of tickets she lost. Jack correctly wrote another expression, 100−2t , to find the number of tickets Kate has now. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Kate's and Jack's expressions mean.

Answer 1

here you go

Explanation:

Answer: Kate expression: 2(50-t)

2 : represents twice,

50 : represents Initial number of tickets Kate has,

t : The lost tickets

50-t : represents Number of ticket Kate has After loosing t tickets

Jack expression: 100 - 2t

100 : Twice of initial ticket Kate has,

t : The lost tickets

2t : represents twice of the lost tickets,

100-2t : represents Final number of ticket Kate has.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

Initially Kate has 50 tickets.

She lost tickets = t

And, after losing t ticket she has tickets = 50 - t

But, His father doubled the amount, Thus she has final tickets = 2(50-t)= 2×50 -2× t = 100 - 2t

Answer 2

Answer: Kate's Expression: 2(50−t)

2: doubling of tickets remained.

50: total tickets in the beginning

t : the number of tickets Kate had lost

50-t: the number of tickets she had left after that

Jack's expression: 100−2t

100: twice the tickets in the beginning

t: the number of tickets Kate had lost

2t: twice the tickets lost

100−2t:the number of tickets Kate has now

Explanation:

Le 't' be the number of tickets Kate had lost.

Total tickets in the beginning =50

Then the number of tickets she had left after that = 50-t

After her dad doubled the tickets , the total tickets she has now =2(50-t)

Here 2 represents the doubling of tickets remained.

Jack just use distributive property to it and multiply 2 to 50 and t individually.

He got the number of tickets Kate has now = 100-2t
