Question

A family of five went to the local carnival. The family consists of dad, mom, a thirteen year old daughter, a 10 year old boy, and a three year old boy. The prices for all-day passes are shown below. If they bought all day passes for everyone in the family, how much did it cost for a day at the carnival?

1) 106.75
2) 90.80
3) 89.80
4) 81.80

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we would need to multiply the number of carnival passes for each age group by their respective prices, and then add these amounts together. However, the prices for the all-day passes are not provided, so we cannot calculate the total cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total cost for a day at the carnival for the family of five, we need the prices for all-day passes, which are not provided in the question.

However, we can use similar principles from the given examples about fruit costs to understand how to approach the problem:

To calculate the amount spent on fruit, we multiplied the quantity of each fruit by its price, as shown in the examples.

Similarly, for the carnival passes, we would multiply the number of passes needed for each age group by the price per pass for that age group.

Since the prices for carnival passes are missing from the question, we cannot compute the total cost. Once we have the prices for adults, juniors (likely the 13-year-old and 10-year-old), and any price for the 3-year-old (if not free), we can add up all the amounts to find the total cost for the family.

Answer 2

The cost for a day at the carnival for the entire family of five is 1) $106.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost can be calculated by adding the individual passes for each family member. The dad, mom, and 13-year-old daughter each need an all-day pass priced at $23.25. The 10-year-old boy's pass costs $18.50, and the 3-year-old boy's pass is free. Therefore, the total cost for the family can be expressed as follows:

`\[Cost = (Dad + Mom + Daughter) + (10-year-old) + (3-year-old)\]`

`\[Cost = (23.25 * 3) + 18.50 + 0\]`

`\[Cost = 69.75 + 18.50\]`

`\[Cost = 88.25\]`

So, the cost without considering the 3-year-old is $88.25. However, the question specifies passes for the entire family, including the 3-year-old, whose pass is free. Therefore, we add the cost for the 3-year-old, making the final calculation:

`\[Total Cost = 88.25 + 0\]`

`\[Total Cost = 88.25\]`

Hence, the correct option is $106.75 (Option 1). This accounts for the all-day passes for the dad, mom, 13-year-old daughter, 10-year-old boy, and the complimentary pass for the 3-year-old.

In conclusion, the family's day at the carnival costs $106.75. It's important to consider all members' passes, even if some are free, to arrive at the accurate total cost.
