The Skubic family and the Shaw family went on a safari tour in which they drove their own vehicles through the park to view the animals. The cost of the tour was 5 point 2 5 dollars per vehicle plus an additional amount for each person in the vehicle. The Skubic family had 7 people in their vehicle and paid 22 point 7 5 dollars If the Shaw family had 3 people in their vehicle, how much did they pay?
First subtract the $5.25 vehicle fee from the Skubic family’s $22.75 total: $22.75 − $5.25 = $17.50 for 7 people, or $2.50 per person. For 3 people, the cost is $5.25 + 3($2.50) = $12.75. The Shaw family paid $12.75, choice A.
