Question

Christine(C) and Ty(T) save quarters in a jar together. The jar had $28 in it, then Christine put in C quarters and Ty put in T quarters. Which expression can be used to represent the amount of money in the bank now?(1 point) Responses CT + 28 CT + 28 0.50(C + T) + 28 0.50(C + T) + 28 0.25C + 0.25T + 28 0.25C + 0.25T + 28 0.25FJ + 28 0.25FJ + 28

Answer 1

To determine the amount of money in the jar after Christine and Ty add their quarters, you start with the initial amount of money in the jar, which is $28.

Christine adds \(C\) quarters and Ty adds \(T\) quarters. Since each quarter is worth $0.25, the total value of the quarters they add is \(0.25C + 0.25T\).

Now, you combine the initial amount with the value of the quarters they added:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = 28 + 0.25C + 0.25T
\]

This can be simplified to:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = 28 + 0.25(C + T)
\]

However, the expression that directly represents the money in the bank after they add their quarters is:

\[
0.25C + 0.25T + 28
\]

Thus, the correct response would be:

**0.25C + 0.25T + 28**
