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.
Answer:
(a) Equations for both
--- lifeguard
--- camp counselor
(b) Total pay for 5 days
Lifeguard pays $800
Camp counselor pays $375
(c) Which pays more
Lifeguard job pays more
Step-by-step explanation:
Let


Given
Lifeguard job


Camp counselor job


Solving (a): The equation for both
The total pay for each job is calculated as:
Total Pay = Signing Bonus + Rate * Hours
So, we have:
Lifeguard


Camp counselor


Solving (b): Total pay for 5 days
First, we calculate the total hours worked in 5 days


So, the pay for each is:


--- Lifeguard


--- camp counselor
Solving (c): Which job pays more
By comparing the solution in (b)

<em>Hence, lifeguard job pays more</em>
Answer:
6 titles and 16 acts were elaborated
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of titles be t and the number of acts be a
Since the total is 22 operations:
a + t = 22 •••••••(i)
Total amount from titles = 3500 * t = 3500t
Total amount from acts = 2000 * a = 2000a
2000a + 3500t = 53,000 ••••••(ii)
From i, a = 22-t
Insert this in ii
2000(22-t) + 3500t = 53,000
44,000 - 2000t + 3500t = 53,000
1,500t = 53000-44000
1500t = 9000
t = 9000/1500
t = 6
But a = 22 -
= 22-6 = 16
Answer: x= 2 , y= 5 (5+2=7)
