Question

PLZ ANSWER ASAP!!! Charlie commutes from Gardentown to Workton for work. He makes the journey

every day Monday to Friday, and also has to go to work every third Saturday. He never
goes to Workton on Sundays, and nor does he ever go apart from going to work.
If Charlie buys the tickets that keep his travel costs as low as possible, how much will
this cost him for a three-week period?

Answer 1

$55.50

Step-by-step explanation:

For a ticket that keeps travel cost as low as possible :

Since he only goes to work every third Saturday ;

A day return journey traveling Saturday or Sunday is better : $3.00

Since he goes to work everyday from Monday to friday:

A rover ticket for (Monday _ Friday) option is best : Cost = $17.50

Cost per week for 3 weeks(Monday - Friday) ; Hence,

$17.50 * 3

= $52.50

Total cost For 3 weeks :

Cost per week for 3 weeks (Monday - Friday) + cost of one saturday:

$52.50 + $3.00

= $55.50
