Answer: Option #4: the 0.2 could be changed to 2.
Explanation:
The table is designed to make the concept of percentages more understandable. The table first allocates the total amount of 70 in terms of its "fifths," or 20% parts. Then it expresses these parts in the last row of the table, showing that 20% of 70 is 14 and all the five parts sum up to 70 again.
Now, Mikel is supposed to express 40% of the amount. So she writes (incorrectly): 0.2 * 14. This statement needs to be changed to 2 * 14 (two times 14 = 28), to correspond to 2 times 20%, or 40% of 70.
This is reflected in the last (fourth) option "The 0.2 in the expression could be changed to 2."
Option #3 is incorrect because changing 14 to 70, will result in an incorrect number (2.8).
Options 1 and 2 are similarly incorrect (as can be easily verified)
Your answer is E. $25.
First let under 12 = u, over 12 = o, and adults = a.
We can now write the equations:
2u + 3a + 3o = 174
4u + 2a = 122
a + o = 46
Because we know that a + o = 46, and 3a + 3o is in the first equation, we can multiply 46 by 3 to get what 3a + 3o equals. This makes 138.
Now we can substitute 138 into the first equation to get 2u + 138 = 174
2u = 36
u = 18
Now that we know what u equals, we can substitute it in to the second equation to get:
4(18) + 2a = 122
72 + 2a = 122
2a = 50
a = $25
