Question

The local amusement park charges 17.95 per person. However after 5 pm the charge is reduced to 13.55 per person. A group of 4 adults is planning to go to the park. How much will they save if they go after 5 pm?

Answer 1

First, we must multiply $17.95 by 4 due to the 4 adults.

$17.95x4= $71.8

Then we multiply $13.55, because they went after 5pm, $13.55x4= $54.2

Then we subtract the two to see how much is saved. $71.8-$54.2=$17.6 the amount saved.

Answer 2

The local amusement park charges $17.95 per person and 4 adults are planning to go.

17.95 * 4 = $71.80

However, after 5 PM the charge is reduced to $13.55 per person.

13.55 * 4 = $54.20

The question asks how much the group will save if they go to the amusement park after 5 PM. To find this amount, we subtract the amount that it costs for them to go to the amusement park after 5 PM from the amount that it would cost them to go in the morning.

$71.80 - $54.20 = $17.60

Therefore, the group of 4 adults would save $17.60 if they went to the amusement park after 5 PM.
