Answer:
(a) The total number of tokens purchased = 9
(b) The cost of 1 token = $1.458
Step-by-step explanation:
Here the cost of 1 bus token = $ 1.75
The total amount spent on the tokens = $15.75
(a) Let us assume the number of token purchased = m
So, here, the cost of m tokens = m x ( Cost of 1 token)
= m x ($1.75) = 1.75 m
Also, cost of m token = $15.75
⇒$15.75 = 1.75 m
or, m = 15.75/1.75 = 9
or, m = 9
Hence, the total number of tokens purchased = 9
(b) The number of token purchased = 10
So, the amount paid for 10 tokens = 10 x ( cost of 1 token)
= 10 x ( $1.75) = $17.5
Now, 2 token are free with 10 purchased token.
So, total token now = 10 + 2 = 12
⇒The amount paid for 12 token = $17.5
So, here the cost of each token = [tex]\frac{17.5}{12} =1.458[/tex]
Hence, the cost of 1 token = $1.458
