D) $842.72 lane rentals, $0.38 concessions on Friday; $(842.72 * 7/8) + (0.38 * 1.5) lane rentals and concessions on Saturday

Answer 1

The total revenue for the bowling alley from lane rentals and concessions on both Friday and Saturday is $1581.05, after accounting for the decrease in lane rentals and increase in concessions on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Friday, the lane rentals at the bowling alley brought in $842.72, and the concession stand made $0.38. On Saturday, the lane rentals decreased by 1/8 while concessions increased by 1/2. To find Saturday's earnings, calculate 7/8 of the lane rentals from Friday and add 1.5 times the concessions from Friday.

Here is the calculation for Saturday's total:

• Lane Rentals: $842.72×7/8 = $737.38
• Concessions: $0.38 ×1.5 = $0.57

Add the totals for both days to find the entire weekend's revenue. The total is:

Friday Lane Rentals + Friday Concessions + Saturday Lane Rentals + Saturday Concessions = $842.72 + $0.38 + $737.38 + $0.57 = $1581.05.
