Question

Cost to cross the bridge(one-way): Truck (2 or 3 axles): $3.00 Truck (4 or 5 axles): $6.25 Truck (6 or more axles): $10.00. One morning, 3 trucks, each with 5 axles, and 1 truck with 8 axles, crossed the bridge in one direction. write a math problem and solve it to answer. HOW MUCH WAS THE TOLL FOR THE CROSSING OF THE BRIDGE.​

Answer 1

Truck (2 or 3 axles): $3.00

Truck (4 or 5 axles): $6.25

Truck (6 or more axles): $10.00

Day1= 3 trucks with 5 axles and 1 truck with 8 axles passed the bridge

What we need to find:

Part a: an expression that represents the first passing of the 4 trucks and

a solution to the the first expression

Part b: a modification of first expression that includes the return passing of the 4 trucks and a solution for the trucks passing both times.

Part a:

3(6.25)+1(10.00)

3(6.25)+1(10.00)=$28.75

Part b:

2[3(6.25)+1(10.00)]

2[3(6.25)+1(10.00)]=2[28.75]=$57.50
