Ford Family consists of:

a) 2 adults

The price of ticket for each adult is $18.55. This can be approximated to $19 if we round it to nearest dollar. So the price of ticket for 2 adults will be 2 x 19 = $38

b) 3 children between ages 2 and 10.

Ticket for each child between ages 2 - 10 is $12.59 which can be approximated to $13. So ticket price for 3 children will be 3 x 13 = $39

c) 2 children below the age of 2.

Ticket price for each child is $6.54 which can approximated as $7. So ticket price for 2 children will be 2 x 7 = $14

The estimated total amount due on the family equals = 38 + 39 + 14 = $91

In each of the 3 cases we rounded up the values. So this means the actual amount must be slightly lesser than $91. The actual bill was $87.95 which is close to $91 and lesser than it. Hence we can conclude that $87.95 is the correct amount due for Ford Family.

What would be the equation and how can I solve it
Blababa [14]
If alonzo is x then the equation is

x + (x +3) + 2(x + 3) = 57

Which equals

x + x + 3 + 2x + 6 = 57
4x + 9 = 57
4x = 48
x = 12

This means alonzo is 12 years old and alexis is 3 years older so alexis is 15 years old

Answer = 15 years old
