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:
Line M would also have a slope of 2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
When two line are parallel that means that they will never intersect.
In order for two lines to avoid intersection they would have to be at the same slope.
Since lines K and line M are parallel to each other they have to have the same slope.
40 / 8 =5. 5 * % = **25 Miles**
Answer:
<u>-22</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply a positive and negative number together, it becomes negative.
Multiplication is repetitive addition.
11(-2) = -11 + -11 = -22
Answer:
I think you are missing something from the question, but if you were to find out how much you would get paid for a certain amount of hours from $12 per hour, then the formula would be:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h = no. of hours worked
$12 * h
