Question

6. Maria rides the bus every day. She bought a bus pass good for the month of

October for $38.75. How much was Maria spending per day for the bus pass?

Answer 1

Maria is spending $1.25 for the bus pass everyday

Explanation:

Given that Maria paid $38.75 for the pass for a month

As she bought the pass for the month of October and October has 31 days, dividing the amount paid for pass by 31 will give us the per day cost that she is spending.

So,

`Per\ day\ cost = (38.75)/(31)\\= 1.25`

Maria is spending $1.25 for the bus pass everyday
