Answer 1

Answer:

Ambitious

In this case, you have to multiply the price of the one way journey ($2.65) by 8 (as this is the number of individual journeys made in one week. It's gives you $21.20. As he has 1 bottle of water at $1.45 each day for four days, you have to multiply these together, giving you $5.80 You then have to add together $21.20 and $5.80, giving you $27. Therefore, it costs Edgar $27 a week

Answer 2

Answer:

$27.00

Step-by-step explanation:

To ride the bus to and from work costs

2* 2.65 = 5.30  for 1 day

He rides the bus 4 days a week

4 * 5.30 = 21.20      for 4 days

He buys a bottle of water on the way to work 4 days a week

4 * 1.45 = 5.80  for 4 days

Cost to ride the bus = bus fare for 4 days + water for 4 days

                                    = 21.20 + 5.80

                                     = 27.00

4 (2*2.65+ 1.45) = 27
