Answer:
Number of possibilities
1) 91 members that contribute 1 dime each ($0.10)
2) 13 members that contribute 7 dimes each ($0.10 × 7 = $0.70)
3) 70 members that contribute 13 dimes each ($0.10 × 13 = $0.13)
Step-by-step explanation:
A dime = $0.10 in dollars
We are told that:
The total amount contributed = $9.10 for the party after their practice.
Each member contributed the same amount of money in dimes only.
Let the number of members be represented as: x
Number of possibilities
We find the factors of $9.1
= 1, 0.7, 0.13, 9.1
= 1 × 9.1
= 0.7 × 13
= 0.13 × 70
Hence:
1) $0.10 × x = $9.10
x = $9.10/$0.10
x = 91
Therefore, from the calculation above, there are 91 members and each of them contributed the same amount which was 1 dime ($0.10).
2)
7($0.10 )× x = $9.10
x = $9.10/$0.70
x = 13
Therefore, from the calculation above, there are 13 members that contribute 7 dimes each ($0.10 × 7 = $0.70)
3) 13($0.10) × x = $9.10
x = $9.10/$0.13
x = 70
Therefore, from the calculation above, there are 70 members that contribute 13 dimes each ($0.10 × 13 = $0.13)
