Question

Felicia, Ingrid, Meiko and Tatiana spent a total of $31.50 at the baseball game. Felicia spent $4.25. Ingrid spent twice as much as Felicia. Meiko spent $1.90 more than Ingrid. How much did Tatiana spend?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Tatiana = \ 8.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Total = \ 31.50$

$Felicia = \ 4.25$

$Ingrid = 2 * Felicia$

$Meiko = \ 1.90 + Ingrid$

Required

Determine amount spent by Ingrid

We have that:

$Ingrid = 2 * Felicia$

Substitute $4.25 for Felicia

$Ingrid = 2 * \ 4.25$

$Ingrid = \ 8.5$

We also have that:

$Meiko = \ 1.90 + Ingrid$

Substitute $8.5 for Ingrid

$Meiko = \ 1.90 + \ 8.50$

$Meiko = \ 10.40$

The total can be represented as thus:

$Felicia + Ingrid + Meiko + Tatiana = Total$

$\ 4.25 + \ 8.50 + \ 10.40 + Tatiana = \ 31.50$

$\ 23.15+ Tatiana = \ 31.50$

$Tatiana = \ 31.50 - \ 23.15$

$Tatiana = \ 8.35$
