At a state fair, there is a game where you throw a ball at a pyramid of cans. if you knock over all of the cans, you win a prize. the cost is 3 throws for $1, but if have you an armband, you get 6 throws for $1. the armband costs $10.

i. write two cost equations for the game in terms of the number of throws purchased, one without an armband and one with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of throws and y be the cost

Without armband case

The cost for 3 throws is $1

The cost for 1 throws is

The cost for x throws is

So, is the equation for the game in terms of the number of throws purchased without an armband

With armband case

The cost for 6 throws is $1

The cost for 1 throws is

The cost for x throws is

Cost of Arm band is $10

So, Total cost for x throws with arm band =

So, is the equation for the game in terms of the number of throws purchased with an armband

answer: i believe its b. if you sound out the sentences that sounds wrong.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
