Question

ZOO At a zoo, the cost of admission is posted on the sign. Find the cost of admission for two adults and two children. (Lesson 1-3)

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The cost of admission of two adults and two children to the zoo is $34.

Step 1. List the given data.

According to the given sign, the cost of admission of one adult is $9.75 and the cost of one child is $7.25.

Step 2. Evaluate the total cost.

The cost of admission of one adult is $9.75. Then, the cost of admission of two adults is $2\times 9.75=19.5$.

 

Similarly, the cost of admission of one child is $7.25. Then, the cost of admission of two children is $2\times 7.25=14.5$.

 

Then, the cost of admission of two adults and two children is $19.5+14.5=34$.

Step 3. Determine the unit.

Since the costs of admission of both an adult and a child are given in dollars ($), the cost of admission of two adults and two children, as obtained, must also be in dollars.

 

So, the cost of admission of two adults and two children to the zoo is $34.
