Three hikers are dividing the costs of a hiking trip evenly. They bought two permits that cost $15 each, three tram tickets that cost $19 each, and one can of bear spray that cost $36. How much, to the nearest cent, does each hiker owe?

Respuesta :

Each hiker owes $41 or 4100 cents for the hiking trip.

Explanation

Cost of each permit is $15. So, the cost of two permits will be: [tex](\$15*2)= \$30[/tex]

Cost of each tram ticket is $19. So, the cost of three tickets will be: [tex](\$19*3)=\$ 57[/tex]

Cost of one can of bear spray is $36.

So, the total cost of the hiking trip [tex]=\$30+\$57+\$36=\$123[/tex]

As the three hikers are dividing the total costs of the trip evenly, so each hiker owes [tex]=\frac{\$123}{3}=\$41[/tex] or 4100 cents.
