Question

12. If you buy a bag of pretzels ($0.75 per bag) and a Pepsi ($1.25) every weekday at work from a vending machine, how much do you spend on the vending machine products over the course of a year (52 weeks)

Answer 1

To calculate the amount spent on vending machine products over the course of a year, multiply the cost of buying a bag of pretzels and a Pepsi by the number of weekdays in a year, which is $104.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount spent on vending machine products over the course of a year, we need to multiply the cost of buying a bag of pretzels and a Pepsi by the number of weekdays in a year (52 weeks).

The cost of a bag of pretzels is $0.75, and the cost of a Pepsi is $1.25. So, the cost of buying both products in a day is $0.75 + $1.25 = $2.

Answer 2

0.75 + 1.25 = $2 everyday

Since there are 5 weekdays:

5 x 2 = $10 a week

Since there are 52 weeks in a year:

10 x 52 = $520 a year!
