To find out how much it will cost for the family to take the bus, we need to calculate the individual payments for each family member and then sum them up.

Let's break it down:

1. Louis pays the full price, which is $1.00.
2. Louis's wife pays 2/3 of the regular price. To calculate this, we need to multiply the regular price by 2/3. Since the regular price is $1.00, the wife's payment would be (2/3) * $1.00 = $0.67.
3. The two children pay 1/2 of the regular price each. To find out the individual payment for each child, we need to multiply the regular price by 1/2 and then divide by 2 since there are two children. So, each child's payment would be (1/2) * $1.00 / 2 = $0.25.

Now, we can calculate the total cost for the family to take the bus by adding up all the individual payments:

Louis's payment: $1.00
Wife's payment: $0.67
Children's payment: $0.25 + $0.25 = $0.50

Total cost = $1.00 + $0.67 + $0.50 = $2.17

Therefore, it will cost the family $2.17 to take the bus to the zoo.
