Question

Mauricio hits a baseball 4 times as often as Tony each game. He also hits 20 baseballs every Monday at practice. How many baseballs will Mauricio hit this week if Tony hits at the game Saturday? Please Show your work and explain the answer.

Answer 1

Tony = x
Mauricio = 4x

If Tony hits at the game, then Mauricio will hit 4 times as many times + the 20 at practice, so

4x + 20

That means if Tony hit 1, Mauricio will hit

4(1) + 20 = 24

If Tony hits 2, Mauricio will hit

4(2) +20 = 28

Your answer should be the expression

4x + 20

Answer 2

If Tony hits at the game so that means Mauricio will hit 4 times and because he hits 20 every Monday so he will hit 20 + 4 = 24 this week :)))
