Sarah Worker took up golf. She played 36 holes a week for 10 weeks. Use of the course cost $12.00 per round of 18 holes. She paid an 8% sales tax on her equipment expenditures (clubs $275, bag $60, shoes $75, balls and tees $32.50, outfit $35.) How much did her recreation cost Sarah?

Respuesta :

Course Cost = $12 + $12 * 10
Course Cost = $24 * 10
Course Cost = $240

Equipment =  $275 +$60 + $75 +$32.50 +$35
Equipment = $477.50 * .08
Equipment = $477.50 + $38.20
Equipment = $515.70

Course Cost  + Equipment = Total Cost
$240 + $515.70 = $755.70
Total Cost = $755.70

Answer:

The recreation cost of Sarah is $755.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Sarah Worker took up golf.

She played 36 holes a week for 10 weeks.

Use of the course cost $12.00 per round of 18 holes.

As Sarah played 36 holes a week i.e is double of 18 thus cost also becomes double.

Cost of 36 holes a week = 2 × Cost of 18 holes .

                                         = 2 × 12

                                         = $ 24

As She played 36 holes a week for 10 weeks.

Thus

Total cost holes played by Sarah in 10 weeks = Cost of 36 holes a week × Number of weeks .

                                                                            = 24 × 10

                                                                            = $ 240

As given

Total equipment cost = Clubs cost + Bag cost + Shoes cost + Balls and trees cost Outfits cost .

                                     =$275 + $60 + $75 + $32.50 + $ 35

                                     = $ 477.5

As  

Sarah paid an 8% sales tax on her equipment expenditures.

8% is written in the decimal form .

[tex]= \frac{8}{100}[/tex]

= 0.08

Sales tax price = 0.08 × Total equipment cost

                         = 0.08 × 477.5

                         = $38.2

Thus                        

Recreation cost =Total cost holes played by Sarah in 10 weeks + Total equipment cost + Sales tax price .

Putting all the values in the formula

Recreation cost = $240 + $477.5+ $38.2

                           = $ 755.7

Therefore the recreation cost of Sarah is $755.7 .
