Question

Help Pleasee.!!

Marjorie drives 17.3 miles each way to work at an average of $0.20 per mile. She pays $3.25 each day to park and works an average of 22 days per month. If she joins a car pool with two other workers, what will her average monthly cost be?

Answer 1

17.3 + 17.3 = 34.6 (this is how much she drives daily.
34.6 x 22 = 761.20 (miles driven per month)
761.20 x .20 = 152.24 (money used for gas for the month)

22 x 3.25 = 71.50 (how much she pays for parking for the month.
for a total cost of (152.24 + 71.50) = 223.74

If there is 3 people, including Marjorie, it would have to be divided by 3 because each person is supposed to pay for 1/3 of the total cost.

223.74/3 = 74.58
Each person will pay 74.58
Do you understand what I just did ?

Answer 2

yeaa :) thanks

Answer 3

your quite welcome...that is what I am here for :)

Answer 4

how did you get the 22for the miles driven per month?

Answer 5

22 is the number of days she works and she drives 34.6 miles per day. So I multiplied 22 by 34.6 to determine the number of miles driven per month.

Answer 6

oo, can you help me w another one?

Answer 7

possibly...what you got ?

Answer 8

Les drives 4 miles each way to work at an average of $0.195 per mile. He pays $2.25 a day to park and works an average of 24 days per month. What is his average monthly cost?

Answer 9

sorry itsz cux oo dont understand consumers math

Answer 10

4 miles each way to work means he drives 8 miles per day.
He works 24 days so he drives (8 x 24) = 192 (this is how many miles per month he drives.
It costs him (in gas) 192 x 0.195 = 37.44 (cost of gas per month)
He pays 2.25 a day for parking and he works 24 days, so he pays 24 x 2.25 = 54.00 per month for parking.
Now we add...
gas : 37.44
parking : 54.00
-------------add
total = 91.44 <==average monthly cost

Answer 11

okai so my next questions is the same numbers but it says ; Les drives 4 miles each way to work at an average of $0.195 per mile. He pays $2.25 a day to park and works an average of 24 days per month. If Les joins a car pool with three other workers, what will his average monthly cost be?

Answer 12

If average monthly cost for 1 person is 91.44, then the average monthly cost for 3 people would be 91.44/3 = 30.48

Answer 13

but by answers are only, $22.86, $ 21.56, & $18.18

Answer 14

did I get the first part of the question correct....the one where I answered 91.44

Answer 15

yes thats on my list

Answer 16

oh wait....he joins with 3 other people.....that makes a total of 4 people....so it would be 91.44/4 = 22.86

Answer 17

ooo, ii See :)

Answer 18

the next questions says she dirves 5.5 miles each way at a cost of &0.26

Answer 19

per mile and has no parking fee. On an average month of 21 days, what is her monthly cost?

Answer 20

do i multiply 5.5 twice?

Answer 21

yes...because it is 5.5 miles there and 5.5 miles back.....that will tell you how many miles he drive per day

Answer 22

then multiply it by .26?

Answer 23

ooo & Jeri is in a car pool with one other worker

Answer 24

...well you can to determine how much she pays for gas each day, or you can multiply it by 21 to determine how many miles per month then multiply that by .26. It can be done either way. Remember if you multiply the miles per day by .26, that is only telling you the cost per day, you would still have to multiply by 21 for the cost per month

Answer 25

Even if he is in a carpool with another person...don't worry about that now. Figure out what 1 person pays then divide that by 2

Answer 26

wait . im lost ?

Answer 27

ok.....there is two ways to do this....
First way :
5.5 x 2 = 11 (miles per day)
21 x 11 = 231 (miles per month)
231 x .26 = 66.06 <==monthly cost

or this way...
5.5 x 2 = 11
11 x .26 = 2.86 (cost of gas per day)
21 x 2.86 = 60.06 (cost of gas per month)

Either way it cost 1 person 60.06 per month.
For two people it would cost 60.06/2 = 30.03 per person

Answer 28

ooooo, now ii get it

Answer 29

what does a car pool mean cuz my

Answer 30

next question has that word

Answer 31

a carpool means there is more then one person traveling in the car and you split the cost with them.

Answer 32

Jeri is in a car pool with one other worker. She drives 5.5 miles each way at a cost of $0.26 per mile and has no parking fee. On an average month she works 21 days. If Jeri decides to drive alone, how much more will it cost her per month?

Answer 33

is it like the one u just did?

Answer 34

yes....figure it out for one person , then figure it out for 2 people

Answer 35

so its the same answer isnt it?

Answer 36

not exactly....for 1 person it cost 60.06, for 2 people it cost 30.03.
It is asking how much more will it cost
subtract 60.06 - 30.03 = 30.03
It would cost Jeri 30.03 more per month to drive alone then it would for a carpool.

Answer 37

It is the same answer...lol

Answer 38

oooo, thats why ii thought it was the ssame

Answer 39

Answer 50

yes...I do :)

Answer 51

give me a problem and I will show you

Answer 52

how do u do, 4 1/2 x 5

Answer 53

its not even a fraction or is it?

Answer 54

thats not division...did you type it correctly ? I can show you how to do this problem...is it typed correctly ?

Answer 55

4 1/2 × 5 yea dats how its on my page

Answer 56

do you know how to turn mixed numbers into improper fractions ?

Answer 57

if its multipication u divide dont u?

Answer 58

no...if its multiplication you multiply, however, if its division you end up multiplying as well.

Answer 59

To do this problem you have to turn the mixed number into an improper fraction. Do you know how to do that ?

Answer 60

nope :(

Answer 61

let me teach you....
4 1/2 is a mixed number because it has a whole number and a fraction.
To turn 4 1/2 into an improper fraction you take the whole number (4)and multiply it by the denominator (2) which equals 8. Then take the 8 and add it to the numerator (1) which equals 9. Then you put the 9 over the original denominator (2) so it would be 9/2. 4 1/2 turned to an improper fraction is 9/2.
Do you understand this ?

Answer 62

oo okai now ii member this,'

Answer 63

continuing with the problem..
4 1/2 x 5 = 9/2 x 5/1 = 45/2 = 22 1/2
Do you understand ?

Answer 64

omg nopee

Answer 65

nvm ii do get it now

Answer 66

aa nvm i dont get it i tryed w the next question and i didnt get a whole num ber

Answer 67

You can turn improper fractions into whole numbers. That is how I got a whole number. I originally got 45/2 which when turned to a mixed number is 22 1/2

Answer 68

and who do u do do it w money? 12 x $3.01

Answer 69

just multiply...12 x 3.01 = 36.12.....no fractions involved.

Answer 70

oo okii

Answer 71

do you have anymore questions ?

Answer 72

Answer 75

Name: Gregory Allen
Destination: New Orleans, LA
Fare type: coach
Cost per mile:________

Answer 76

thats the question

Answer 77

let me look at it and see what I can do

Answer 78

okai thanks

Answer 79

It will take Gregory Allen 1434 miles.It will cost him $168 for 1434 miles. So you want to know how much per mile it would cost. You divide 1434 by 168 and that will give you the cost per mile.

Answer 80

wow. i got 8.53571.....

Answer 81

my answers are $0.02, 0.12, $ 0.22

Answer 82

let me try this again....
1434/168 = 1/x (1434 miles to $168 = 1 mile to x $)
now cross multiply...
(1434)(x) = (168)(1)
1434x = 168
x = 168/1434 = .117 rounded to .12

sorry about that...I messed up on the first explanation.

Answer 83

wait how u get x?

Answer 84

x stands for cost per mile. This is what we are looking for. This is our unknown variable

Answer 85

oo

Answer 86

x is what I just solved for.

Answer 87

why do i keep gettinq decimal w long numbers?

Answer 88

it happens....sometimes it is better to round the number to make it shorter.

Answer 89

look my

Answer 90

huh ?

Answer 91

next question is Name: Lola Wayne
Destination: Seattle, WA
Fare type: coach
Cost of round-trip ticket:________

Answer 92

do i divide 82 to 701

Answer 93

round trip means there and back.
Seattle is 701 miles one way, and costs $82 (one way)
round trip is 1402 miles, and costs (82 x 2) = $164

total cost for round trip to Seattle is $164

Answer 94

you do not divide, you multiply

Answer 95

you are not looking for the cost per mile, you are looking for the total cost

Answer 96

why is this so confsinqq

Answer 97

look this one is diffrent
