Louis and his family are going to the zoo. The price of a bus ticket is $1.00, but the family has some coupons. If Louis pays full price, his wife pays 2/3 of the regular price, and the two children pay 1/2 of the regular price. How much will it cost for the family to take the bus?

=1+(2/3 *1) + ((1/2 * 1)*2)

= 1 + .66 + (.50*2)

= 1 + .66 + 1

shark, could you please tell us what grade you are in?

Some of your questions are more complex, but others, like this one seem amazingly simple. (BTW, I should have said .67, not .66 since it would round up)

Also, maybe you could contribute what you have done to try to solve. Otherwise, it just seems like you're getting others to do your homework.

Eh? But there are two operations left for him to figure out after your work.

Second, the answer is undefined because it never says how big his family is Laughing
