The Ferry family rented 50 chairs for $150. Which expression can be used to find the cost per chair?

Question

StartFraction 150 dollars Over 50 chairs EndFraction
StartFraction 50 dollars Over 150 chairs EndFraction
StartFraction 150 chairs Over 50 dollars EndFraction

Answer 1

To find the cost per chair, you would want to divide the total cost by the number of chairs. This means you need to use the expression:

\[ \frac{150 \text{ dollars}}{50 \text{ chairs}} \]

Thus, the correct expression from your options is:

\[ \text{StartFraction 150 dollars Over 50 chairs EndFraction} \]

This expression will yield the cost per chair when calculated.
