Red Ribbon Week starts Friday. If the average smoker pays $8.25 for packof cigarettes and smokes 1.5 P(packs per day). Using the equationC=8.25PT, determine how much does that smoker spend on cigaretteseach day? Each week? Each 30 day month? Each 365 day year? (T is theamount of time in days)

Answer 1

You have the next equation:

`c=8,25PT`

Data: P=1.5

How much does that smoker spend on cigarettes:

Each day: As T is amunt of time in days, to find how much that smoker spend on cigarettes in one day you: Sustitute the T by 1 in the equation:

T=1day

`c=8,25(1.5)(1)`
`c=12.375`Each day the smoker spends $12.375

Each week: A week have 7 days

T=7days

`c=8,25(1.5)(7)`
`c=86.625`Each week the smoker spends $86.625

Each 30 day month:

T=30 days

`c=8.25(1.5)(30)`
`c=371.25`Each 30 day month the smoker spends $371.25

Each 365 day year:

T=365 days

`c=8.25(1.5)(365)`
`c=4516.875`Each 365 day year the smoker spends $4516.875
