Red Ribbon Week starts Friday. If the average smoker pays $8.25 for packof cigarettes and smokes 1.5 P(packs per day). Using the equationC=8.25PT, determine how much does that smoker spend on cigaretteseach day? Each week? Each 30 day month? Each 365 day year? (T is theamount of time in days)

Answer 1

You have the next equation:

$c=8,25PT$

Data: P=1.5

How much does that smoker spend on cigarettes:

Each day: As T is amunt of time in days, to find how much that smoker spend on cigarettes in one day you: Sustitute the T by 1 in the equation:

T=1day

$c=8,25(1.5)(1)$$c=12.375$Each day the smoker spends $12.375

Each week: A week have 7 days

T=7days

$c=8,25(1.5)(7)$$c=86.625$Each week the smoker spends $86.625

Each 30 day month:

T=30 days

$c=8.25(1.5)(30)$$c=371.25$Each 30 day month the smoker spends $371.25

Each 365 day year:

T=365 days

$c=8.25(1.5)(365)$$c=4516.875$Each 365 day year the smoker spends $4516.875
