Question

Martha and 4 friends attended a volleyball game. Admission was $3.50 per person. They all got snacks that were $2.50 each and a drink that was $1.50. On the way home they stopped at Starbucks for a frappucino that cost $4.75 per person. Martha paid for everything. How much did she pay?

Answer 1

$61.25

Explanation:

Given that:

There are 5 persons (Martha and 4 other friends)

Fee for admission for each person = $3.50

Price for snacks for each person = $2.50

Price for drinks for each person = $1.50

Price for frappucino for each person = $4.75

All the money was paid by Martha.

To find:

Total money paid by Martha.

Solution:

First of all, let us find the total cost for one person.

Total cost for one person = $3.50 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $4.75 = $12.25

There are a total of 5 persons.

Therefore total cost = $12.25
`*` 5 = $61.25

Total money paid by Marth = $61.25
