Answer 4

Sorry, you're busy helping another student. I'll help you out, multiply 32.50 by these numbers, then 28 by how much of 17 is left. Then add the products together to give you 530.

Answer 5

-.- "student" I meant person.

Answer 6

Hint: 5 & 7 are wrong.

Answer 7

Bye- bye, good luck and if you have any other questions just mention me.

Answer 8

I think it's 12, but I'm confused because I don't know if it means 17 people total or 18. The way it's worded confuses me. :/

Answer 9

It says "Seventeen members of Tracy's family". So would that mean 17 + Tracy? That would mean there are 18 people instead of 17. Then again, it doesn't specify if Tracy is going, so I'm not sure.

Answer 10

....I never thought of that. give me a minute.

Answer 11

Nope it's 17 not 18, If it were 18 none of the choices will add up to 530 and yes it is 12

Answer 12

Okay thanks! It was kind of confusing the way it was worded, I guess I was over thinking it.

Answer 13

I tend to do that a lot.
