Question

Sinea and Ren are going to the carnival next week. The table shows the amount that each person spent on snacks, games and souvenirs the last time they went to the carnival.

Sinea= Snacks $5.00; Games $8.00; Souvenirs $12.00
Ren=Snacks 10; Games $8.00; Souvenirs; $20.00

a. Sinea wants to spend money using the same ratios as on her last trip to the carnival. If she spends $26.00 on games, how much will she spend on souvenirs?

b. Ren wants to spend money using the same ratios as on his last trip to the carnival. If he spends $5.00 on souvenirs, how much will he spend on snacks?

I am very confused on how to figure out part a and b. Please help me.

Answer 1

Would the answer for part a. be $6.00

Answer 2

I am actually changing my answer to part a. to $13.00 but I am still confused on part a and b

Answer 3

a. ratio-12/8 so if she spends 26 on games, she must spend 12/8 *26 on souveniors

b. so if Ren spends 5 bucks on souvenirs, then she spends 2.5 on snacks. ratio=20/10

Answer 4

I understand how you put it in a different perspective 12/8 so if he spends 26 on games she must spend 12/8 x 26 would you put 26 as the numerator or denominator?

Answer 5

yes, 12/8 of 26

Answer 6

Well if I do 12/8x26/1=312/8=39
How can that be correct?

Answer 7

ren spent 1.5 times as much on souvenours as games. If she spends 26 on gams, then she must spend 26+13 on souvenours, =39 dollars.

Answer 8

For part b wouldn't the answer be just $2.00?

Answer 9

No it would be $2.50 because I just figured out how to get to that answer but part a is still confusing a bit to me.

Answer 10

Actually I arrived at an answer for part a of $1.50

Answer 11

Or Ren would spend $39.00 on souvenirs?

Answer 12

36.00

Answer 13

she would spend 39 dollars

make a t chart and but games and souviners at the top then put 8 under the games and 12 under souviners then multiply that by thirteen and then put 26 under 8 and 39 under souviners.
