Mr. Churchill makes $50,000 a year. Of this income, 1/7 goes towards food and beverage. Of this amount, ¼ goes towards Coca-Cola products. 1/3 of this amount is spent on the disgusting diet Coke for Mrs. Churchill. The other 2/3 is spent on the always delicious and refreshing straight up Coke.
a) How much is spent on straight up Coke?
b) If 3/13 of his Coke spending is spent on chocolate, how much money is spent on chocolate?
1/7 = food
1/4 * 1/7 = 1/28 for Coke
1/3 * 1/28 = 1/84 for Diet Coke
2/3 * 1/28 = 1/42 for Coke
(a) 1/42 * 50000 = 1190.48
(b) 3/13 * 1/28 * 50000 = 412.09
a) Well, let's crunch the numbers. If 1/7 of Mr. Churchill's income goes towards food and beverage, and 1/4 of that is spent on Coca-Cola products, then we have:
1/7 * 1/4 = 1/28
So, 1/28 of Mr. Churchill's income is spent on Coke. Since 2/3 of that goes towards straight up Coke, we can calculate:
(2/3) * (1/28) * $50,000 = $2,381.01
Therefore, approximately $2,381.01 is spent on straight up Coke.
b) Now, if 3/13 of Mr. Churchill's Coke spending is spent on chocolate, we can use the same calculations to find the amount:
(3/13) * (2/3) * (1/28) * $50,000 = $963.64
So, approximately $963.64 is spent on chocolate. That's a lot of choco-love!
To find out how much is spent on straight up Coke, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount spent on food and beverage:
1/7 of Mr. Churchill's income goes towards food and beverage.
Amount spent on food and beverage = (1/7) * $50,000 = $7,142.86
Step 2: Calculate the amount spent on Coca-Cola products:
1/4 of the amount spent on food and beverage goes towards Coca-Cola products.
Amount spent on Coca-Cola products = (1/4) * $7,142.86 = $1,785.72
Step 3: Calculate the amount spent on disgusting diet Coke:
1/3 of the amount spent on Coca-Cola products goes towards disgusting diet Coke.
Amount spent on disgusting diet Coke = (1/3) * $1,785.72 = $595.24
Step 4: Calculate the amount spent on straight up Coke:
2/3 of the amount spent on Coca-Cola products goes towards straight up Coke.
Amount spent on straight up Coke = (2/3) * $1,785.72
a) The amount spent on straight up Coke is $1,190.48.
To find out how much is spent on chocolate, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount spent on chocolate:
3/13 of the amount spent on Coke goes towards chocolate.
Amount spent on chocolate = (3/13) * $1,190.48
b) The amount spent on chocolate is $273.25.
To find the amount spent on straight up Coke, we need to follow a series of calculations based on the given information.
Step 1: Calculate the amount spent on food and beverage.
Since 1/7 of Mr. Churchill's income goes towards food and beverage, we can find that amount with the following calculation:
Food and beverage spending = (1/7) * $50,000
Step 2: Calculate the amount spent on Coca-Cola products.
Since 1/4 of the food and beverage spending is on Coca-Cola products, we can calculate it as follows:
Coca-Cola spending = (1/4) * (Food and beverage spending)
Step 3: Calculate the amount spent on diet Coke for Mrs. Churchill.
Since 1/3 of the Coca-Cola spending is on diet Coke, we can calculate it as follows:
Diet Coke spending = (1/3) * (Coca-Cola spending)
Step 4: Calculate the amount spent on straight up Coke.
Since 2/3 of the Coca-Cola spending is on straight up Coke, we can calculate it as follows:
Straight up Coke spending = (2/3) * (Coca-Cola spending)
Now let's calculate the answers:
a) How much is spent on straight up Coke?
Using the calculations defined above, substitute the values:
Straight up Coke spending = (2/3) * (Coca-Cola spending)
= (2/3) * [(1/4) * (Food and beverage spending)]
b) If 3/13 of his Coke spending is spent on chocolate, how much money is spent on chocolate?
To answer this question, we also need to know the total amount spent on Coca-Cola products. So, we can calculate it by adding the amount spent on diet Coke and straight up Coke:
Total Coca-Cola spending = Diet Coke spending + Straight up Coke spending
Once we have this, we can find the amount spent on chocolate as follows:
Chocolate spending = (3/13) * (Total Coca-Cola spending)
Now, you can substitute the values and perform the calculations to get the final answers.
