Question

The table shows prices for a local bowling alley. Valerie rented shoes, bowled 4 games, and bought 2 orders of nachos. She used a coupon for half off the price of food. What was the total cost, before tax, of Valerie's trip to the bowling alley?

Answer 1

Answer:

$14.50

Explanation:

Cost of Shoe Rental = $2.75

$\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of 4 bowling games:}=4\times2.50 \\ =\ 10 \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} \text{Cost of 2 orders of nachos:}=2\times1.75 \\ =3.50 \\ \text{Coupon of half off the price =}\frac{1}{2}\times3.50 \\ =\ 1.75 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Valerie's total cost, before tax will be:

$\begin{gathered} =2.75+10+1.75 \\ =\ 14.50 \end{gathered}$
