Dante correctly wrote another expression, 60 – 3t, to find the number of tokens Angelique has now.
Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Angelique’s and Dante’s expressions mean.
Angelique’s Expression: 3(20 – t)
3:
number of token’s Angelique’s dad gives her
20:
number of tokens Angelique starts with
t:
number of tokens Angelique lost
20 – t:
number of tokens Angelique has after she loses some
Dante’s Expression: 60 – 3t
60:
t:
3t:
60 – 3t:
Sure! Let’s break down Dante’s expression, 60 – 3t.
60: This represents the total number of tokens that Dante assumes Angelique should have had initially or in a specific context.
t: This represents the number of tokens Angelique lost, which remains consistent with her expression.
3t: This reflects the total number of tokens lost by Angelique when she loses t tokens, multiplied by the factor of 3, suggesting that for each token she loses, there is a multiple effect or specific context that affects her overall count.
60 – 3t: This expression calculates the current number of tokens Angelique has after accounting for the total losses (3t) from her starting amount (60).
