Solution



Given:
    • The cost of t tablets is c cents

To find:
    • At the given rate, how many cents will 5 tablets cost

Approach and Working:
As the cost of t tablets is c cents,
    • Cost of 1 tablet = \(\frac{c}{t}\) cents
    • Therefore, cost of 5 tablets = \(5 * \frac{c}{t}\) cents = \(\frac{5c}{t}\) cents

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

D. \(\frac{5t}{c}\)

E. \(\frac{t}{5c}\)



t tables cost c cents
1 table costs\(\frac{c}{t}\)cents

5 tables cost\(\frac{c}{t}\)*5 cents

= \(\frac{5c}{t}\)

Thus the best answer is option B.

A. \(5ct\)

B. \(\frac{5c}{t}\)

C. \(\frac{c}{5t}\)

D. \(\frac{5t}{c}\)

E. \(\frac{t}{5c}\)

Let \(t\) tablets = 2
Let \(c\) cents = 10

How many cents do 5 tablets cost in cents, x?

\(\frac{t}{c}=(\frac{2}{10}=\frac{5}{x})\)
\(2x= 50\)
\(x = 25\)

Using t = 2 and c = 10, find the answer that yields 25

A. \(5ct: (5)(10)(2)=100\). NO

B. \(\frac{5c}{t}=(\frac{5*10}{2})=25\). That's a match. Keep

C. \(\frac{c}{5t}=\frac{10}{10}=1\). NO

D. \(\frac{5t}{c}=\frac{10}{10}=1\). NO

E. \(\frac{t}{5c}= \frac{2}{50}=\frac{1}{25}\). NO
