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.
1+1+1+1
First, let's do 1+1
1+1=2
and the other 1+1 also equals 2
2+2=4
so the final answer is 4
The <u>correct answer</u> is:
B) The variables are height and time. For the first part of the graph, the height is increasing slowly, which means the hiker is walking up a gentle slope. Flat parts of the graph show where the elevation does not change, which means the trail is flat here. The steep part at the end of the graph shows that the hiker is descending a steep incline.
Explanation:
The variables are marked on the graph. Time is marked along the x-axis, which means it is the independent variable. Height is marked along the y-axis, which means it is the dependent variable.
The first part of the graph rises slowly. This means the elevation does not change much over the time; this would be consistent with a gentle slope being climbed.
The flat areas are where the elevation does not change. This would be consistent with the hiker resting.
The steep decrease at the end shows that the elevation goes down quickly. This is consistent with the hiker climbing down a steep slope.
Answer:
25150
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to see that this is an arithmetic sequence... since to get the next element we add 5 to it. (a geometric sequence would be a multiplication, not an addition)
So, we have a, the first term (a = 4), and we have the difference between each term (d = 5), and we want to find the SUM of the first 100 terms.
To do this without spending hours writing them down, we can use this formula:
If we plug in our values, we have:
S = 50 * (8 + 495) = 50 * 503 = 25150
Answer:
the burgers be 3 and fries be 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Let us assume burgers be x
And, the fries be y
Now according to the questiojn
1.25x + 0.50y = $4.75
1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48
Now multiply by 1.2 in the first equation
1.50x + 0.6y = $5.70
1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48
-0.39y = -0.78
y = 2
Now put the value of y in any of the above equation
1.25x + 0.50(2) = $4.75
x = 3
Hence, the burgers be 3 and fries be 2
