So for every two girls, there's four boys. There are twice as many boys than girls, so the number of girls • 2 = your answer.
51 • 2 = 102
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:
I think it's A
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete question :
Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?
Answer:
$265,720
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon
Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons
. From the availabke information given :
Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold
= $0.26 * 1,022,000
= $265,720
The answer will be (D)
