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:
33.61 mm (the square root of 1130)
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Because the 80 is by itself that would be the start up fee.
B) We are told x is the number of months. Since the X is being multiplied by 30, we know that would be the total monthly cost. This is being added to the 80, which does not have an exponent, so we know this is a single cost, which would be the start up fee.
C) Copying the same format as the given equation above, change the numbers:
f(x) = 20 + 35x
D) I used the same format as the first equation, which meant replacing the start up cost from the original one ( 80) with the start up of the new one (20). Then I changed the monthly cost from the original one (30) with the monthly cost of the new one (35).
E) Replace x in each equation with 8 and calculate the cost of each:
80 + 30(8) = 80 + 240 = $320
20 + 35(8) = 20 + 280 = $300
The second club (club B) is the cheaper option for her.
Question : 18 is 50% of what number?
Answer : 36.
How : well if you multiply 18 times 2 the answer is 36. Since 18 is half of 36, being 50%
