Answer:
32 units
Step-by-step explanation:
2 x 4 x 4 = 32

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.
Numerical expressions contain numbers, while algebraic expressions contain variables and numbers.
<u>Numerical Expression</u>
"Difference" indicates that we'll be subtracting 13 from 48.
48 - 13 = 35
<u>Algebraic Expression</u>
Variables represent the unknown number, in this case the difference between 48 and 13. Let d represent the difference between the two.
48 - 13 = d
35 = d
Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
0.5p-3.45=-1.2
add 3.45 to -1.2 which would leave the equation to look like
0.5p=2.25
then divide 0.5 to both sides cancelling 0.5 leaving the answer to be
p=4.5
