Louis and his family are going to the zoo. The price of a bus ticket is $1.00, but the family has some coupons. If Louis pays full price, his wife pays 2/3 of the regular price, and the two children pay 1/2 of the regular price. How much will it cost for the family to take the bus?

Louis pays $1.00

Wife pays $0.67
Two children together pay $1.00

Add them up.

$2.67

To find the total cost for the family to take the bus, we need to calculate the amount each family member will pay and then add them together.

Let's break it down step by step:

1. Louis pays full price, which is $1.00.
2. Louis' wife pays 2/3 of the regular price. To calculate this, we multiply the regular price ($1.00) by 2/3:
2/3 * $1.00 = $0.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
So, Louis' wife pays $0.67.
3. The two children pay 1/2 of the regular price each. To calculate this, we multiply the regular price ($1.00) by 1/2:
1/2 * $1.00 = $0.50
So, each child pays $0.50.
4. To find the total cost for the family to take the bus, we add up the amounts each family member pays:
$1.00 (Louis) + $0.67 (Louis's wife) + $0.50 (Child 1) + $0.50 (Child 2) = $2.67.
So, it will cost the family $2.67 to take the bus.
