Christine (c) and ty (t) save quarters Ina jar together. the jar had $28 in it then Christine put in C quarter and ty put in T quarters which expression can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now

Answer 1

Initially, the jar has $28, which is equivalent to 28 * 4 = 112 quarters (because each dollar is made up of 4 quarters).

Let $C$ be the number of quarters Christine added, and $T$ be the number of quarters Ty added.

The new amount of quarters in the jar after both contributions would be:

$$112+C+T$$

To convert this back into dollars, we divide by 4 (since there are 4 quarters in a dollar):

$$\frac{112+C+T}{4}$$

Now, adding this to the initial $28, the total amount of money in the jar now, $M$, can be represented as:

$$M=28+\frac{C+T}{4}$$

Thus, the expression that represents the amount of money in the jar now is:

$$28+\frac{C+T}{4}$$
