How would you express the ratio of $500 to the price of a new car?

  1. Division 500/c

  2. Division 500/p

  3. Division 500/s

  4. Division 500/m

The correct answer is: Division 500/p

To express the ratio of $500 to the price of a new car, you need to represent the relationship mathematically. Here, the ratio can be framed as the amount of money ($500) compared to the variable that represents the price of the new car. In this context, the price of the new car is typically denoted using a variable such as "p". Thus, the expression that accurately represents this ratio is: 500/p This notation signifies that you are dividing $500 by the price of the car, reflecting the proportion of money available compared to the car's cost. The other options refer to different variables (c, s, m) that do not correspond logically to the price of the car, hence they do not accurately reflect the context of the ratio being established. The choice using "p" is therefore the most appropriate and relevant for this scenario.
