Hey Jiskha! I need help again...
Joe will go to the swimming pool on 20 different days this month.
• A one-day pass to the pool is $2.25.
• A monthly pass to the pool is $30.00.
How much money will Joe save by buying a monthly pass?
I got 45 but thats not one of the answer choices.. :( Please help!
$45 is the amount he'd pay for the month without a monthly pass.
But the question asks how much he'd save with a pass.
Ohhh so like $15?
Yes, $15.
To solve this problem, we need to find out how much Joe would spend by buying one-day passes for 20 different days and compare it to the cost of a monthly pass.
To calculate the cost of one-day passes, we need to multiply the cost of a one-day pass by the number of days Joe will go to the pool.
Cost of one-day pass = $2.25
Number of days Joe will go to the pool = 20
Cost of one-day passes = $2.25 x 20 = $45.00
Now we can compare this with the cost of a monthly pass, which is $30.00.
To find out how much money Joe will save by buying a monthly pass, we subtract the cost of one-day passes from the cost of a monthly pass.
Savings = Cost of one-day passes - Cost of monthly pass
Savings = $45.00 - $30.00
Savings = $15.00
Therefore, Joe will save $15.00 by buying a monthly pass instead of 20 one-day passes.
