Question

can you please help me solve this math problem the answer choice are:A. 250, B.1,000, C.2,500, D.10,000

Answer 1

Seyed is correct. There is also another way to to this.  Simply multiply the two numbers inside the parenthesis together. 

 

(1/2)(10t)=5t

 

 Now your equation reads 5t=50,000.

 

Now, solving algebraically, divide both sides by 5. 5t/5=50,000/5

 

Presto, your answer is exactly the same as what Seyed explained.

Answer 2

first multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

 

2(1/2)(10t) = 2*50,000 

 

now 10t = 100,000 

 

finally divide both sides of the equation by 10:         10t /10 = 100,000 /10

 

so: t= 10,000     (Answer choice D)
