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:
5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
SUM OF RATIOS = 5 + 3 = 8
fraction of blue sweet = blue sweet ratio / sum of ratios = 5/8
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality (20 + 0.5x) + 0.15(20 + 0.5x) ≤ $62.10 for x:
20 + .5x + 3 + 0.75x ≤ 62.10
Combining the x terms, we get:
20 + 3 + 1.25x ≤ 62.10.
Combining the constants on the left:
23 + 1.75x ≤ 62.10
Combining the constants:
1.75x = 39.10
Solving for x: 39.10/1.75 = 22.34
Thus, the max number of whole pages she can have in her book is 22.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The Susan's hourly wage, must be equal at least to the sum of her monthly household expenses divided by the number of hours worked at month
Remember that
She works 40 hours per week
so
<em>Find out the monthly household expenses</em>
Sum all the expenses
Rent+ Monthly Bills+Entertainment and Food+Savings
substitute the values
Find out the hourly wage
