Question

Emma noticed that the new admission fee for the zoo is 50% more than last year's fee. She wrote this expression to represent the new admission fee, where f represents last year's fee. f + (0.50 x f) Which of the following expressions shows another way Emma could have represented the new admission fee? A 1.5f B) 150f C) f+1.5 D) f+ 150 ​

Answer 1

The new admission fee for the zoo can be represented as 1.5f.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression f + (0.50 x f) represents the new admission fee for the zoo, where f represents last year's fee. To find another way Emma could have represented the new admission fee, we can simplify the expression. Since 0.50 is equivalent to 1/2, the expression can be written as f + (1/2 x f). We can simplify further by finding a common denominator, which is 2. So the expression becomes (2f + f) / 2, which is equal to 3f / 2. Therefore, another way Emma could have represented the new admission fee is 1.5f, which is option A.

Answer 2

A. 1.5F
