The problem is asking how much each person will need to pay. Simplifying the problem into an equation with variables (an algorithm) will greatly help you solve it:
S = Sales Tax = $ 7.18 per any purchase
A = Admission Ticket = $ 22.50 entry price for one person (no tax applied)
F = Food = $ 35.50 purchases for two people
We know the cost for one person was: (22.50) + [(35.50/2) + 7.18] =
$ 47.43 per person. Now we can check each method and see which one is the correct algorithm:
Method A)
[2A + (F + 2S)] / 2 = [ (2)(22.50) + [35.50 + (2)(7.18)] ]/ 2 = $47.43
Method A is the correct answer
Method B)
[(2A + (1/2)F + 2S) /2 = [(2)(22.50) + 35.50(1/2) + (2)7.18] / 2 = $38.55
Wrong answer. This method is incorrect because the tax for both tickets bought are not being used in the equation.
Method C)
[(A + F) / 2 ]+ S = [(22.50 + 35.50) / 2 ] + 7.18 = $35.93
Wrong answer. Incorrect Method. The food cost is being reduced to the cost of one person but admission price is set for two people.
Answer: 1 out of 6
Step-by-step explanation: A number cube has 6 numbers on it. Only one of them is a two. If she were using two number cubes then she would have 2 out of 12 chances of landing on a number 2.

Answer:
(5.5,-8)
Step-by-step explanation:
(7 + 4)/2 = 5.5
(-6 + -10)/2 = -8
Answer:
Unknown number, x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Forming the equation from the information provided above.
9=2x+17
If we solve for the unknown number, we first collect like terms together.
2x=9-17
2x=-8
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 2 the coefficient of x
x=-4
