I believe you do 160 x $1.50 to get the total amount of money paid in the toll booth for 1 hour and then you multiply this by 8 to get the total amount after 8 hours.

Hello there!

Your question asks how much money was collected at the toll for a period of 8 hours.

Answer: $1,920

To find the answer, we would need to gather some important information from the question.

Important information:

  • 160 cars go through the toll per hour
  • Each car pays $1.50

With the information above, we can solve the problem.

First, let's find how much money the toll makes in one hour. To find this, we need to multiply 1.50 by 160 cars, since the toll costs $1.50 and 160 cars go through it per hour.


1.50*160=240

The toll makes $240 per hour.

Now, since we need to find how much the toll makes in 8 hours, we need to multiply 240 by 8.


240 * 8=1,920

When you're done solving, you should get 1,920.

This means that the toll makes $1,920 in 8 hours.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

MasterInvestor
