a.
Answer to Problem 51PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Tickets to the Family Water Park are $25.99 per day. Park offers a season pass for $89.99, which includes a 15% discount at Riverfront Pizza & Treats. And a Greatest Value season pass is offered for $119.99 with some extra benefits of a 20% discount at Riverfront, a souvenir cup with free refills and five meal vouchers.
Calculation:
At a rate of $25.99 per day, the total cost of the tickets for 3 days would be
Let’s assume that each meal voucher is worth $5. So the cost of 5 meal vouchers would be $25. And there will be the additional Riverfront cost.
So if the family is planning to spend less than $80.13 at Riverfront, then the standard tickets are the best deal for his family.

And a Greatest Value season pass is offered for $119.99 with some extra benefits of a 20% discount at Riverfront, a souvenir cup with free refills and five meal vouchers.
Calculation:
At a rate of $25.99 per day, the total cost of the tickets for 3 days would be
Let’s assume that each meal voucher is worth $5. So the cost of 5 meal vouchers would be $25. And there will be the additional Riverfront cost r .
The only other discount offer is 15% and 20% discounts at Riverfront.
So, for the standard ticket, the total cost of 3 days holiday would become,
And if they choose the Season pass, then the total cost of 3 days holiday will be,
And if they choose the Greatest Value pass, then the total cost of 3 days holiday will be,
Now on solving (1) and (2), it gives
Similarly, on solving (1) and (3), it gives,
And on solving (2) and (3), it gives
So, if the family is planning to spend more than $100 at Riverfront, then they should take the Greatest Value pass.
But, if the family planning to spend between $80.13 and $100 at the Riverfront, then they should go for the season pass.
But if the family is planning to spend less than $80.13 at the Riverfront, then the family should get the standard tickets.

Calculation:
In order to decide the best deal for the family 3 days visit to park, the free refills were ignored as it won’t cost too much. And they plan to eat 5 meals regardless of the vouchers.

- Compare the interest earned from #1 (where simple interest was used) to #5 (where compound interest was used). The principal, annual interest rate, and time were all the same; the only difference was that for #5, interest was compounded quarterly. Does the difference in interest earned make sense? Select one of the following statements. a. No, because more money should have been earned through simple interest than compound interest. b. Yes, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. c. No, because more money was earned through simple interest. For simple interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal. d. Yes, because more money was earned when compounded quarterly. For compound interest you earn interest on interest, not just on the amount of principal.arrow_forwardCompare and contrast the simple and compound interest formulas. Which one of the following statements is correct? a. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. b. Simple interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest; Compound interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount. c. Simple interest formula yields only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount; Compound interest formula yields principal plus interest, so you must subtract the principal to get the amount of interest. d. Simple interest and compound interest formulas both yield only interest, which you must add to the principal to get the final amount.arrow_forwardSara would like to go on a vacation in 5 years and she expects her total costs to be $3000.
