1/2 would work for the blank space
because as shown in the image you could relate it to a whole for each one and put it to 100 to figure out what the blank could be
the 0.20 can be converted to 1/5 so that way you can put everything into the 100 group
The slope of the parallel line is -6/7
the slope of the perpendicular line is 7/6
the slope of the line = -6/7
the gradient of two parallel lines are equal
the product of the gradient of two perpendicular lines is -1
: the gradient m1*m2 = -1
m2= -1(-6/7)
m2= 7/6
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.
