Answer:

360 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample as:

  • Brownies 29
  • Cookies 27
  • Chips 61
  • Other 63

#Find the probability of a person eating cookies:

P(cookies)=\frac{No \ of \ cookies \ People}{No \ of people \ in \ sample}\\\\=\frac{27}{29+27+61+63}\\\\=0.15

#To find the number of cookie people in the population, we multiply the population size by the probability of having a cookie:

P_c=np, n=2400, p=0.15\\\\=2400\times 0.15\\\\=360

Hence, cookies is a favorite of 360 people.

Which shows a correct order to solve this story problem? Kent and Curtis went to the state fair. They had to pay a total of $7.1
KiRa [710]
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.
