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.
Answer:
6045000000000000000000000 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the mass of Earth is
kg. The mass of the Moon is
kg.
To find the total mass we will add mass of Earth and Moon.
First of all let us convert the given masses in standard form.



Therefore, the mass of Earth and Moon is 6045000000000000000000000 kg.
Answer:
Y should equal to 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since they are similar triangles and each of the measurements on the second triangle are divided by two you would do the same for y
Answer:
infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
3(8m + 5) = 4(6m + 7) - 13 ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
24m + 15 = 24m + 28 - 13 , that is
24m + 15 = 24m + 15
Since both sides are equal then any real value of x makes the equation true.
Thus there are an infinite number of solutions
