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.

Go .5 below and .5 above this answer to get your consecutive integers.
Therefore the answer is 1001 and 1002.
Answer:
Cole has 15 pencils.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have the equation c + o =18, c representing cole, and o representing connor.
From there, we get 5o=c
Using substitiution, we get o=3
5(3)=15
15+3=18
(12x + 9y) + (-2y) - (4x - 3y)
= 12x + 9y - 2y - 4x + 3y
= 12x - 4x + 9y - 2y + 3y
= 8x + 10y
A) 8x + 10y
