Question

It costs Edgar $2.65 one way to ride the bus to work. He uses the bus to go to and from work fourdays per week. He buys a bottle of water that costs $1.45 on his way to work each day. How muchdoes it cost Edgar to ride the bus and buy water for one week?

Answer 1

Ambitious

In this case, you have to multiply the price of the one way journey ($2.65) by 8 (as this is the number of individual journeys made in one week. It's gives you $21.20. As he has 1 bottle of water at $1.45 each day for four days, you have to multiply these together, giving you $5.80 You then have to add together $21.20 and $5.80, giving you $27. Therefore, it costs Edgar $27 a week

Answer 2

$27.00

Explanation:

To ride the bus to and from work costs

2* 2.65 = 5.30 for 1 day

He rides the bus 4 days a week

4 * 5.30 = 21.20 for 4 days

He buys a bottle of water on the way to work 4 days a week

4 * 1.45 = 5.80 for 4 days

Cost to ride the bus = bus fare for 4 days + water for 4 days

= 21.20 + 5.80

= 27.00

4 (2*2.65+ 1.45) = 27
