Gia is participating in a jump-a-thon to raise money for her school. After completing 20 jumps, she raised [tex]$\$50$[/tex]. Gia wants to know how much money she raises per jump.

Which rate shows how much money Gia raises per jump?

A. [tex]\frac{20}{50}[/tex] jumps per dollar
B. [tex]\frac{50}{20}[/tex] dollars per jump
C. [tex]\frac{20}{50}[/tex] dollars per jump
D. [tex]\frac{50}{20}[/tex] jumps per dollar

Answer :

To find out how much money Gia raises per jump, we need to determine the rate in dollars per jump.

Here's how we can do that:

1. Identify the Total Jumps and Money Raised:
- Gia completed 20 jumps.
- She raised [tex]$50.

2. Determine the Rate of Dollars per Jump:
- We want to calculate how much money is raised for each jump, so we will divide the total money raised by the total number of jumps.
- Using the numbers provided:
\[
\text{Rate (dollars per jump)} = \frac{\text{Total Money Raised}}{\text{Total Jumps}} = \frac{50}{20}
\]

3. Calculate the Result:
- Divide 50 by 20 to find the rate:
\[
\frac{50}{20} = 2.5
\]

Therefore, Gia raises $[/tex]2.5 per jump.

From the given options, the correct choice is:
[tex]\[
\frac{50}{20} \text{ dollars per jump}
\][/tex]
