Kaely and Bro share an account on a game and want game bucks.

2,800 bucks cost $25. Kaely adds $15 and Bro adds $10.

They need to figure out how many bucks they each get to spend based on the amount of money they each paid.

If $25 equals 2,800 bucks, then how many bucks does $15 equal, and how many bucks does $10 equal?

(How many bucks does Kaely get, and how many bucks does Bro get?)

Answer :

Answer: The correct answer is Kaely gets 1,680 bucks and Bro gets 1,120 bucks.

Step-by-step explanation: Here's how you figure it-

2800 bucks= $25. If Kaely adds $15, that would be 15/25 of the price which then can be reduced to 3/5 of the cost of the bucks. 3/5 changed to a decimal= .60. So, 2800 x .60= 1,680 bucks. Do the same thing for Bro. He adds $10 or 10/25 reduced to 2/5. 2/5 changed to a decimal= .40. So 2800 x .40= 1,120 bucks

1680 + 1120= 2800

Answer:

Kaely gets 1,680 and Bro gets 1,120

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find how may bucks you will receive with 1$

2,800/25

which equals 112

Then multiply 112 by how much Kaely paid and how much Bro paid. Then you have your answer.
