a

Answer 2

First find 1/8 of $842.72.
Just divide $842.72 by 8.
Then subtract that from $842.72.
That is the amount the alley made from lane rentals on Saturday.

Then find 1/2 of $412.38 (divide $412.38 by 2) and add it to $412.38.
That is the amount the alley made from the concessions on Saturday.
Then add the two amounts together.
