There are 120 bouncy balls in a display bin. Of the bouncy balls in the bin, one-half are priced at $0.25 each, one-fifth are priced at $0.75, and the remaining bouncy balls are priced at $1.50. What is the total value of the bouncy balls in the bin? Write a numerical expression that can be used to solve the problem. Then solve it.

$87

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bouncy balls = 120

one-half are priced at $0.25 each

1/2 of 120

= 1/2 × 120

= 120/2

= 60

Price of 1/2 = 60 × $0.25

= $15

one-fifth are priced at $0.75

1/5 of 120

= 1/5 × 120

= 120/5

= 24

Price of 1/5 = 24 × $0.75

= $18

Remaining bouncy balls = 120 - 60 - 24

= 36

Price of remaining balls = 36 × $1.50

= $54

Total value of the bouncy balls in the bin = Price of 1/2 + Price of 1/5 + Price of remaining balls

= $15 + $18 + $54

= $87

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
