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.
The answer is C.
When a positive and negative number are multipled or divided, the result is negative.
The coordinates of the point intersection of lines (-1, -1)
If you want solve:
y = -2x - 3, y = 3x + 2
-2x - 3 = 3x + 2 |+3
-2x = 3x + 5 |-3x
-5x = 5 |:(-5)
x = -1
Put the value of x to the first equation:
y = (-2)(-1) - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1
x = -1, y = -1
Answer:
235 bracelets
Step-by-step explanation:
Mai must spend $250 on wire and $5.30 per bracelet beads. Mai creates the expression.
We are given the equation:
5.3n+ 250 to represent the cost of making n bracelets.
The maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 Is calculated as:
$1500 = 5.3n+ 250
Collect like terms
1500 - 250 = 5.3n
1250 = 5.3n
n = 1250/5.3
n = 235.8490566 bracelets.
Bracelets are created as whole numbers and they can't be in decimal form.
Therefore, the maximum number of bracelets Mai can make with a budget of $1500 is 235 bracelets.
