- It cost the Naidoo family of 2 adults and 3 children $61 to go to the zoo. What is the missing price on the board?
$28 + 11 = $61
14 + 14 = 28
61 - 28 = 33
33 divided by 3 = 11
So it costs 11 dollars each for a one child .
- For 4 days of the week the zoo has a concession for schools. $10 each for the first 100 children and then $12 each for the others. What would a school pay if there are 127 children?
10 x 100 = 1000
12 x 27 = 324 So than 1000 + 324 = $1324 to pay for 147 children
- On a Friday evening the zoo has a special rate for school children:for every paid 7 children 2 get to go in free. What would it cost a school with 147 children?
147 divided by 9 = 16R3
16 x 7 = 112
112 x 11 = 1232
1232 + 33 = 1,265
