1) A single subway token costs $2.25 a machine dispenses eight tokens for $15.00 if you need eight tokens, how much would u save buying the tokens from the machine?
2) A carpenter charged 1455.98 for materials plus $35.75 per hour for 22.5 hours off labor. what was the total bill?
Please help A.S.A.P i don't understand it please explain to me
$2.25 x8 = compare it to $15.00 and see which is cheaper
$1455.98 plus multiply $35.75 x 22.5 and add the 2 together
1) To calculate how much you would save buying the tokens from the machine, we need to find out the cost per token in both scenarios.
If you buy a single token directly, it costs $2.25.
If you buy eight tokens from the machine for $15.00, we can calculate the cost per token by dividing $15.00 by 8.
Cost per token from the machine = $15.00 / 8 = $1.875
Now, let's compare the costs:
Cost per token directly = $2.25
Cost per token from the machine = $1.875
To find the amount saved per token, we subtract the cost per token from the machine from the cost per token directly:
Amount saved per token = Cost per token directly - Cost per token from the machine
Amount saved per token = $2.25 - $1.875 = $0.375
Since you need eight tokens, the total amount saved would be the amount saved per token multiplied by the number of tokens:
Total amount saved = Amount saved per token * Number of tokens
Total amount saved = $0.375 * 8 = $3.00
Therefore, you would save $3.00 by buying the tokens from the machine compared to buying them individually.
2) To calculate the total bill, we need to find the cost of materials and the cost of labor, and then add them together.
The carpenter charged $1455.98 for materials, and $35.75 per hour for 22.5 hours of labor.
Cost of materials = $1455.98
Cost of labor = $35.75/hour x 22.5 hours = $803.125
Now, to find the total bill, we simply add the cost of materials to the cost of labor:
Total bill = Cost of materials + Cost of labor
Total bill = $1455.98 + $803.125 = $2259.105
Therefore, the total bill would be $2259.105.
