Question

A toy airplane costs $4.84. It costs 4 times as much as a toy car. What is the cost of the toy car?

Answer 1

$1.21

Further explanation

Given:

• A toy airplane costs $4.84.
• It costs 4 times as much as a toy car.

Question:

What is the cost of the toy car?

The Process:

Let the cost of the toy car as C.

A toy airplane costs $4.84. It costs four times as much as a toy car.

From this statement, it is quite clear that the cost of a toy airplane is four times more expensive than a toy car.

We write the equation as follows:

$\boxed{ \ C \times 4 = \ 4.84 \ }$

Both sides are divided by 4 to get the value of C.

$\boxed{ \ C \times 4 \div 4 = \ 4.84 \div 4 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ C \times 1 = \ 1.21 \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ C = \ 1.21 \ }}$

From the initial process above, we can immediately divide it like a fraction. See the following.

$\boxed{ \ C \times 4 = \ 4.84 \rightarrow C = \frac{\ 4.84}{4} = \boxed{ \ \ 1.21 \ }\ }$

Thus, the cost of the toy car is $1.21.

Answer 2

The cost of toy car is $\boxed{\bf \ 1.21}$.

Further explanation:

Given:

There is a toy airplane costs $\ \ 4.84$ and it costs $4$ times as much as a toy car.

Calculation:

Division is one of the basic arithemetic operation. This is an operation which is used whenever we divide a quanity into equal number of parts and the result obtained after the division is the weightage of each part.

For example:

There are two numbers $20\text{ and }5$ then divide $20$ by $5$ as follows:

$\boxed{\dfrac{20}{5}=4}$  

Therefore, $4$ is the number obtained after division.

In the question it given that toy airplane costs $\ \ 4.84$ and its cost $4$ times of toy car and we need to find the cost of toy car.

As it cost is $4$ times the toy car then we have to divide the cost of toy airplane $\ \ 4.84$ by $4$ to obtain he cost of toy car suppose $C$.

$\begin{aligned}C&=\dfrac{4.84}{4}\\&=1.21\end{aligned}$

Therefore the cost of toy car is $\boxed{\ \ 1.21}$.
