Question

Carly is a contestant on the kids' game show, Spend or Switch! When she makes it up on stage, host Guy Granger takes out a stack of one hundred-dollar bills. He divides the bills evenly among all 6 contestants on stage. Each contestant receives 5 one hundred-dollar bills.

Which equation can you use to find the number of bills b in Guy Granger's stack?

b+6=5 ~~ 6b = 5 ~~ b - 6 = 5 ~~ b/6 = 5 ~~ Solve this equation for b to find the number of bills in Guy Granger's stack. How many bills (Please help)

Answer 1

Answer:

ok wait. I'm doing. give me some time.

Answer 2

The complete options for the questions are :

• b+6=5  
• 6b = 5
• b - 6 = 5  
• $\frac{b}{6} = 5$

The correct option is the fourth option which is  $\frac{b}{6} = 5$  and the value of b from the linear equation is 30.

Guy granger has a stack of one-hundred-dollar bills.

He gives each of the participants 5 bills.

The total number of bills that Guy has is denoted by the variable "b".

Now we have to form a linear equation to calculate the value of b.

There are 5 contestants on the show.

So each of the contestants will receive an equal number of bills.

The number of bills received by each contestant is calculated by dividing the total number of bills by the number of contestants.

The number of bills received by each contestant = $b\div6=\frac{b}{6}$ .

But each contestant received 5 bills. So the linear equation is :

$\frac{b}{6} = 5$

Solving the equation by cross -multiplication we get:

$or, b=5\times 6\\\\or, b=30$

Therefore on solving the linear equation we get that the number of bills is 30.
