The equation could be used to find the amount of money Min and Jessica each earned is:
[tex]n = (60 \div 2) \times 10[/tex]
Solution:
Given that,
Min and Jessica collected 60 plastic bottles
They divided the plastic bottles evenly between them and sold the bottles to a recycling center for 10 cents each
Let n represent the amount of money, in cents, that Min and Jessica each earned from the recycling center
Therefore,
[tex]n = \frac{60}{2} \times 10[/tex]
Where, 60 divided by 2 denotes that they divided the plastic bottles evenly between them
Which is multiplied by 10( because they sold each bottles for 10 cents)
Thus the equation is:
[tex]n = (60 \div 2) \times 10[/tex]
