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

Answer :

Gia raised a total of \[tex]$50 after doing 20 jumps, and we want to know how many dollars she raised per jump. To find this, we divide the total amount of money by the number of jumps.

Mathematically, the money raised per jump is given by

$[/tex][tex]$
\text{Money per jump} = \frac{\text{Total money raised}}{\text{Total jumps}} = \frac{50}{20}.
$[/tex][tex]$

When you compute this division, you get

$[/tex][tex]$
\frac{50}{20} = 2.5,
$[/tex][tex]$

which means Gia raised \$[/tex]2.50 per jump.

Among the choices provided, the correct representation of this rate is:

[tex]$$
\frac{50}{20} \text{ dollars per jump.}
$$[/tex]

Thus, the answer is:

[tex]$$
\boxed{\frac{50}{20} \text{ dollars per jump}}
$$[/tex]
