He should, because he would get two more tickets.  

To prove this, do this:
Divide $40 by 1.5 to get 26.6666666666666666667 (Ignore the .666666666667, just use 26 because you can't buy part of a ticket.)

Now subtract 5 from $40 to get the amount with the membership pass. You will get 35.  Divide 35 by 1.25 to get 28.  Marcel will get 2 more tickets if he buys the pass.

Answer: Yes, he should buy a membership pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given;

If  Marcel has $40 to spend and the tickets cost $1.50 without membership, we have to divide Marcel's money (40) by the price of each ticket ($1.50) to obtain the number of tickets that he can buy.

Mathematically speaking:

40 / 1.50 = 26.6=26 tickets

With the membership the tickets costs $1.25 each, but the membership costs $5. So we have to divide $35 ($40 -$5) by $1.25.

35 /1.25 = 28 tickets

By comparing, he can buy more tickets with the membership pass.

So, the answer is yes. He should buy a membership pass.

Fudgin [204]

From the statements given in the problem, we can say that:

 

Final Score = (total of the remaining scores) * degree of difficulty * 0.6

 

Therefore:

97.2 = (total of the remaining scores) * 4.0 * 0.6

total of the remaining scores = 40.5

 

Therefore the judges could have scored which has a total of 40.5
