Question

Amy and Mike are going to an amusement park. They each bought ice cream, and Mike got a soda. Amy had a $10 coupon to put toward the cost, and Mike paid the rest, which came to $30.25. Admission for one person costs $18.00, and ice cream costs $1.50. How much does a soda cost at the amusement park? **$1.25 $1.50 $0.75 $2.10

Answer 1

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25

solve for 'soda'
====================================
36 + 3 + soda = 40.25

39 + soda = 40.25

soda = 1.25

Answer 2

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25

solve for 'soda'

Answer 3

I dont understand

Answer 4

2(18) + 2(1.5) + soda = 10 + 30.25

2 people cost $18 each
2 ice creams cost $1.50 each

Total cost was Amy's $10 and Mike's $30.25

so, add up the food and subtract that from the total cost, and the soda is what's left.

Answer 5

To find out how much a soda costs at the amusement park, we need to subtract the cost of admission and ice cream from the total amount Mike paid.

We know that each person's admission costs $18 and ice cream costs $1.50. So the total cost for one person would be $18 + $1.50 = $19.50.

Since both Amy and Mike went to the park together, their combined cost would be 2 * $19.50 = $39.00.

Now, to find out how much Mike paid, we subtract the amount of Amy's coupon from the total cost: $39.00 - $10.00 = $29.00.

Since the total cost Mike paid was $30.25, we subtract his payment from the total cost he was supposed to pay: $30.25 - $29.00 = $1.25.

Therefore, the cost of the soda at the amusement park is $1.25.
