Hello
I can answer it correctly
the robot tutor is wrong again.
From the question I will assume that 5 people are going
with Atlanta prices.
cost of tickets = 5(14.42) = 72.10
leaving them with 100 - 72.10 or
$27.90
To find out how much money Lisa and her family will have left after buying their baseball tickets, we need to calculate the cost of the tickets first.
Lisa, her two sisters, and her parents make a total of 5 people attending the game. Since they have $100 to spend, we need to divide that amount evenly among the 5 tickets.
To find the cost per ticket, we divide $100 by 5:
$100 / 5 = $20
So, they have budgeted $20 for each ticket. However, we need to know the average ticket price specifically for Atlanta. According to the information given, the average ticket price in Atlanta is $14.42.
Since the average price is lower than their budgeted amount, they will pay the average ticket price.
Now, we multiply the average ticket price in Atlanta by the number of tickets they need (5):
$14.42 * 5 = $72.10
Therefore, Lisa and her family will spend a total of $72.10 on their baseball tickets.
To find out how much money they will have left to buy refreshments, we subtract the ticket cost from their original budget:
$100 - $72.10 = $27.90
So, Lisa and her family will have $27.90 left to spend on refreshments after buying their baseball tickets.
