If 300 jelly beans cost you x dollars How many can purchase for 50 cents at the same rate?

Let's find out how many jelly beans you can purchase for 50 cents at the same rate.

Given that 300 jelly beans cost x dollars.

To find the cost of one jelly bean, we can divide the total cost (x dollars) by the number of jelly beans (300).

Cost of one jelly bean = x dollars / 300 jelly beans

Now, let's convert 50 cents to dollars:

50 cents = 50 / 100 dollars = 0.50 dollars

To find out how many jelly beans we can purchase for 0.50 dollars, we can divide the cost of 0.50 dollars by the cost of one jelly bean.

Number of jelly beans = 0.50 dollars / (x dollars / 300 jelly beans)

Simplifying the equation:

Number of jelly beans = (0.50 dollars * 300 jelly beans) / x dollars

Number of jelly beans = 150 jelly beans / x

Therefore, at the same rate, you can purchase 150 jelly beans for 50 cents.
