Question

Chuck brought $40.00 to the state fair. He bought a burger, a souvenir, and a pass. The burger was 1 /4 as much as the souvenir, and the souvenir cost 2 /3 the cost of the pass. Chuck had $1.50 left over after buying these items.

Answer 1

Souvenir = £14

Burger = £3.50

Pass = £21

Explanation:

Souvenir = £x

Burger =
`(1)/(4)x`

Pass =
`(3)/(2)x`

`(1)/(4)x + (3)/(2)x +x = 40 - 1.5`

`(1)/(4)x+(6)/(4)x+x= 38.5`

`(11)/(4)x = 38.5`

`11x = 154`

`x = 14`
