tory sold 50 balloons for school spirit day. he raised $37.50. he wrote this equation to show how much he charged for each balloon.

= 37.50

what mistake did tory make in writing his equation? what is a correct equation and its solution?
a. he divided b by 50 instead of by 37.50. a correct equation is = 50. its solution is $1,875.
b. he divided b by 50 instead of dividing 50 by b. a correct equation is = 37.50. its solution is $1.33.
c. he divided b by 50 instead of multiplying b by 50.a correct equation is 50b = 37.50. its solution is $0.75.
d. he divided b by 50 instead of setting up a proportion. a correct equation is = . its solution is $1,875.

step-by-step explanation:

if im undersanding the question correctly, its organized from 10

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
