Question

The Fan Cost Index​ (FCI) represents the cost of four​ average-price​ tickets, refreshments, and souvenirs to a sporting event. The FCIs for an independent golf league and an independent hockey league totaled ​$98.69. The hockey FCI was ​$8.45 more than that of golf. What were the FCIs for these​ sports?

Answer 1

Answer:

The hockey FCI is $53.57 and the golf FCI is 45.12$.

Explanation:

The hockey FCI (HFCI) is $8.45 more expensive than the golf FIC (GFCI). You know that both FICs are in total: $98.69.  

1- Subtract $8.45 from the total of $98.69: $90.24.

2- Split the remaining amount in half: $90.24/2: $45.12.  

3- The HFCI is $45.12 + $8.45: $53.57.

   The GFCI is $45.12.  

If you add both FCIs you should get the total $98.69:

$53.57 + $45.12: $98.69$

The hockey FCI is $53.57 and the golf FCI is 45.12$.

I hope this answer helps you!
