why
Let's break it down:
Deyonne made 25% more cookies than Cameron, so if Cameron made x cookies, then Deyonne made 1.25x cookies.
The selling price of each cookie is $0.50.
A. 0.50|x + (x + 0.25x)] = 0.50x + 1.25x + 0.50x = 2.25x
This expression is not correct because it doesn't include the selling price of each cookie.
B. 0.50(x + 0.25x) = 0.50(1.25x) = 0.625x
This expression correctly calculates the revenue from selling both Cameron and Deyonne's cookies.
C. 0.50(x + 1.25x) = 0.50(2.25x) = 1.125x
This expression incorrectly multiplies the sum of Cameron and Deyonne's cookies by $0.50.
D. 0.50(0.75x + x) = 0.50(1.75x) = 0.875x
This expression doesn't correctly represent the revenue because it adds the number of Cameron's cookies and 25% of Cameron's cookies.
E. 0.50(1.75x) = 0.875x
This is the correct expression because it represents the revenue from selling both Cameron and Deyonne's cookies.
F. 0.50(2.25x) = 1.125x
This expression incorrectly multiplies the sum of Cameron and Deyonne's cookies by $0.50.
Therefore, the correct expressions are B. 0.50(x + 0.25x) and E. 0.50(1.75x).
Deyonne made 25% more cookies than Cameron, so if Cameron made x cookies, then Deyonne made 1.25x cookies.
The selling price of each cookie is $0.50.
A. 0.50|x + (x + 0.25x)] = 0.50x + 1.25x + 0.50x = 2.25x
This expression is not correct because it doesn't include the selling price of each cookie.
B. 0.50(x + 0.25x) = 0.50(1.25x) = 0.625x
This expression correctly calculates the revenue from selling both Cameron and Deyonne's cookies.
C. 0.50(x + 1.25x) = 0.50(2.25x) = 1.125x
This expression incorrectly multiplies the sum of Cameron and Deyonne's cookies by $0.50.
D. 0.50(0.75x + x) = 0.50(1.75x) = 0.875x
This expression doesn't correctly represent the revenue because it adds the number of Cameron's cookies and 25% of Cameron's cookies.
E. 0.50(1.75x) = 0.875x
This is the correct expression because it represents the revenue from selling both Cameron and Deyonne's cookies.
F. 0.50(2.25x) = 1.125x
This expression incorrectly multiplies the sum of Cameron and Deyonne's cookies by $0.50.
Therefore, the correct expressions are B. 0.50(x + 0.25x) and E. 0.50(1.75x).
