Question

A bus company is replacing all the old seats in its buses with new ones. The company owns 13 buses and each bus has 28 seats. It costs $89.40 to purchase

each new seat, as well as an additional $31.70 to install each new seat. What is the total cost the company will pay?

Answer 1

$44.236.20

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of purchasing new seats for all the buses. The company has 13 buses and each bus has 28 seats, so the total number of seats to be replaced is 13 * 28 = 364 seats. The cost of purchasing each seat is $89.40, so the total cost of purchasing new seats for all the buses is 364 * $89.40 = $32,610.40.

Next, we need to calculate the cost of installing new seats for all the buses. The cost of installing each seat is $31.70, so the total cost of installing new seats for all the buses is 364 * $31.70 = $11,625.80.

Finally, we need to add the cost of purchasing and installing new seats to get the total cost the company will pay. The total cost of purchasing new seats is $32,610.40 and the total cost of installing new seats is $11,625.80, so the total cost the company will pay is $32,610.40 + $11,625.80 = $44,236.20.
