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:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
72/9=8
-72/-9=8 because negative/negative=positive.
Eighths and their multiples are common fractions which I recommend memorizing, but to actually solve this, you use the literal meaning of a fraction and divide 5 by 8. See the long-division below (it was surprisingly difficult to type, so I hope it helps!).
To round 0.625 to the nearest hundredth, we go to the second decimal place, which is 5, so we round up to 0.63.
Y = 3x - 7
just find the slope then use two point and point slope form to solve for slope intercept form
3x-6=21
Or,3x=27
Or,x=27/3
Or,x=9
So,Now,
X-2=9-2
=7
Hope it helps
