Question

Jordan spent a total of 14.85 on a trip to the zoo 2.85 on snacks and the rest on bus fares. How much did she spend on the bus fares to and from the zoo

Answer 1

Answer: Hello there!

we know that Jordan spent a total of $14.85 on the trip.

He spends $2.85 on snacks and the rest on bus fares.

the amount spend on bus fares is the difference between the total amount spend and the amount that he spends on snacks, this is:

$14.85 - $2.85 = $12

now we also know that he takes two buses ( one to the zoo, and other from the zoo)

then in two buses, he spended $12, this means that he spends $12/6 = $6 on each bus.

Answer 2

Jordan spent $12 to and from the zoo.

Explanation:

since he only used $2.85 on snacks the the rest was for the bus fares so it would be 14.85-2.85. Which equals 12.
