It cost $595.53

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, the cost of round-trip for 10 lessons =$ 595.525

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Mrs. Pine took tennis lessons. She traveled 15 miles one way at an average cost of $0.45 per mile.

i.e. she travels 30 miles per day. ( going there and returning back add up to 15+15=30 miles)

Also cost of 1 mile =$ 0.45

Hence cost of 30 mile=$ (0.45×30)=$ 13.5

Also cost of equipments are as follows:

Rocket=$ 84

Ball=$ 15.50

Shoes=$ 47

Warm-up=$ 32

shorts=$ 22.

Total cost excluding tax=$ 200.5

( since 84+15.50+4+32+22=$ 200.5)

Also she paid  5% tax on them:

i.,e  she paid 5% of 200.5 as tax.

=5/100×200.5=10.025

So, total cost on equipments including tax=200.5+10.025=$ 210.525

She paid $ 25 per lesson.

so she pays: 13.5+25=38.5 per lesson

so, cost of 10 lessons=10×38.5=$ 385

Hence, the cost of round-trip for 10 lessons= 210.525+385

                                                                       =$ 595.525
