Given the word problem, we can deduce the following information:
1. Liz collected 16 cans, which is 20% of her goal.
To determine the number of cans that Liz needs to collect to reach her goal, we use below equation:
[tex]0.20x=16[/tex]where:
x= total number of cans that Liz needs to collect
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 0.20x=16 \\ \text{Simplify} \\ x=\frac{16}{0.20} \\ x=80 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the total number of cans is 80.
A.
To complete the double number line, we must determine first the other percent values. It the goal is 100%, we must subtract 20% from 100% and divide it by 4 to get the remaining percent values. So,
[tex]\frac{100-20}{4}=20[/tex]So the other percent values are:
0%
20%
20%+20%=40%
40%+20%=60%
60%+20%=80%
80%+20%=100%
To determine the amount of cans for each percent value,the process is shown below:
[tex]80(\frac{40}{100})=32[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 80(.6)=48 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]80(.8)=64[/tex][tex]80(\frac{100}{100})=80[/tex]Therefore, the answer for double number line is:
Cans : 0 16 32 48 64 80
Percent : 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%
B.
Based on the information gathered from A, for every 16 cans Liz collects, she adds 20% toward her goal. She will have 32 cans if she reaches 40% of her goal. Liz must collect 80 cans to reach her goal.
