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.
1. You con solve the quadratic equation x^2+20x+100=50<span> by following the proccedure below:
2. Pass the number 50 from the right member to the left member. Then you obtain:
x^2+20x+100-50=0
</span><span> x^2+20x+50=0
</span><span>
3. Then, you must apply the quadratic equation, which is:
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
</span><span>x^2+20x+50=0
</span><span>
a=1
b=20
c=50
4. Therefore, when you substitute the values into the quadratic equation and simplify ir, you obtain that the result is:
-10</span>±5√2 (It is the last option).
A rational expression is undefined when the denominator is zero.
is undefined when x=0 or x=2.
Answer:
x = √(3^125/ 5)
approx 2.9552445 * 10^29.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 log3 x + log3 5 =125
log3 x^2 + log3 5 = 125
log3 (5x^2) = 125
3^125 = 5x^2
x^2 = 3^125/ 5
x = √(3^125/ 5)
This is a huge number
An approximation of it is 2.9552445 * 10^29.
Answer:
Willy Wonka
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
it takes Charlie 45 minutes walking at 2.5 km/hr
speed = distance /time
distance= speed*time
distance= 2.5*45
distance= 112.5 km
it takes Willy Wonka 15 minutes walking at 3.5 km/hr
distance= speed*time
distance= 3.5*15
distance= 52.5 km
Hence Willy Wonka stays closer
