A high school athletic department bought 40 soccer uniforms at a cost of $3,000. After soccer season, they returned some of the uniforms but only received $40 per uniform. What was the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return?
For the expression, I got 40(3,000) - x(40) Is this correct ? I used x as a variable but I forgotten about variables and I don't know how to solve them, so it would be nice to tell me how to solve as well. Thanks~!
Sorry for late reply, I got $75 when I divided. I need to find the difference between what they paid for each uniform, which is $75, and what they got for return which is $40, so do I still need the variable ? tanks very much Ms. Sue
A commuter has 245 in his commuter savings account. This Account changes by 15 each week he buys a ticket. If the account changed by 240 for how many weeks of tickets did the commuter buy. If the commuter wants to buy 20 weeks of tickets how much must he add to his account
Thanks for this it's very educational for me since I am only
only 11 years old,😁🙂🤓.
You need to divide to find the cost per uniform.
(3,000 / 40) - 40x =
40 soccer uniforms at a cost of $3,000 they returned some of the uniforms but only received $40 per uniform what was the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return?
I got 16 because I did $240 divided by $15 and it is 16 you need to divide
The answer is Deez nuts
To calculate the difference between what the athletic department paid for each uniform and what they received for each return, let's break down the calculation step by step.
1. Determine the total cost of the soccer uniforms: $3,000.
2. Find the number of uniforms returned, which we'll represent with the variable "x."
3. Calculate the cost of the returned uniforms by multiplying the number of uniforms returned (x) by the amount received per uniform ($40), giving us the expression: x * 40.
4. Finally, calculate the difference between the total cost of the uniforms and the amount received for the returns by subtracting the cost of the returns from the total cost: $3,000 - (x * 40).
Now, let's simplify the expression:
Original expression: 40 * $3,000 - x * $40
Step 1: Multiply 40 by $3,000 to find the total cost: $120,000.
Step 2: Multiply x by $40 to find the cost of the returns: 40x.
Step 3: Subtract the cost of the returns from the total cost: $120,000 - 40x.
Therefore, the correct expression to represent the difference between what they paid for each uniform and what they got for each return is $120,000 - 40x.
Remember, the value of x will depend on the specific number of uniforms returned. If you have the value of x, you can substitute it into the expression to calculate the actual difference.
