Question

In preparation for the Senior Prom, 8 seniors got together and decided to travel in style and rent a limousine. They investigated and found a company that would rent the limousine for a minimum charge of $180 for the first 3 hours and $30 per hour thereafter. They estimated that they needed to be picked up at 8:00 p.m. and be back by 1:00 a.m. How much money would each student have to pay if they planned to leave the limousine driver a $20.00 tip?
Each student would have to pay__________.

A $260.00

B $25.00

C $230.00

D $32.50

Answer 1

The limousine will cost $240.
$180 for the first three hours, plus 30 for each hour after. They need two extra hours.
So, 180+30(2)=240.
They also want to leave a $20 dollar tip.
So, 240+20=260
That is $260 dollars they need to pay altogether.
Divide that number by the number of students and you'll get how much they each must pay.
260/8=32.50

$32.50 each.
