Marie took public transportation to see her grandmother. Her train fare was $2.75, then she transferred to a bus, which cost $0.50. She didn't feel like walking from the bus stop to her grandmother's house, so she took a cab the rest of the way, which cost $10.50 plus a $2.50 tip. If she uses all of the same transportation on the way home, what will be the total cost of her round trip journey?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Add up what she paid on the first part of the trip, and double it for the round trip...

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

$16.25?

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

For the round trip or the first half...? Gotta be specific.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

I added the first half and the round trip all together and got that.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

$2.75+$0.50=$3.25 $3.25 + $3.25 =6.5 U said double it lol is this right?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Read this. Add up all the numbers in it. "train fare was $2.75, then she transferred to a bus, which cost $0.50. She didn't feel like walking from the bus stop to her grandmother's house, so she took a cab the rest of the way, which cost $10.50 plus a $2.50 tip"

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

$2.75+$0.50+ $10.50+$2.50=$16.25??

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That's the first part of the trip. Double it for the round trip. It's not rocket science x'd
