Question

In level 1 of the game, players earn points by collecting coins on the Cheetah Trail. Initially, these coins were small, but once Camila collected 100 of these small coins, all the com would become a certain point value. The large amount of big coins collected is worth an extra 5 points. In Camila's first attempt, she collected 102 coins for a total of 214 points. La uses the variable p to write an equation that she can use to determine the value of each small coin

Answer 1

The value of each small coin(p) is 2.

The value of each large coin(p+5) is 7.

What is an equation?

Two expressions joined by an equal sign form a mathematical statement known as an equation.

It is given that the value of each small coin is denoted as 'p' and large coins worth extra 5 points.

then, the value of each large coin will be ' p+5 '

she collected 102 coins out of which 100 coins are collected as small coins, So the rest 2 coins will be large coins.

∴ Total points value = (value of each small coin × small coins) + (value of large coins × large coins)

                         214 = [p × 100] + [(p+5) × 2]

                         214 = 100p + 2p + 10

                         214 - 10 = 102p

                         204 = 102p

                         p = 204/102 = 2.

Hence, Value of each small coin is 2 and value of each large coin is 7 i.e. ( 2+5).
