Question

4) A theme park charges $52 for a day pass and $110 for a week pass. Last month, 4,432 day passes were sold and 979 week passes were sold. Which is the closest estimate of the total amount of money paid for the day and week passes for last month?

Answer 1

Given:

Day pass equation: y = 52x

Week pass equation: y = 110x.

Work:

Day pass: y = 52(4,432)

                 y = 230,464

Week pass: y = 110(979)

                    y = 107,690

Total: y = 230,464 + 107,690 → $338,154
