Question

The Skubic family and the Shaw family went on a safari tour in which they drove their own vehicles through the park to view the animals. The cost of the tour was $5.25 per vehicle plus an additional amount for each person in the vehicle. The Skubic family had 7 people in their vehicle and paid $22.75. If the Shaw family had 3 people in their vehicle, how much did they pay?

Answer 1

$12.75

Explanation:

Skubic Family-

22.75 = 5.25 + 7x

17.5 = 7x

2.5 = x

Therefore the cost for each person is equal to $2.5

Shaw Family-

2.5(3) + 5.25

7.5 + 5.25 = $12.75
