Answer:
Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The toll charges $1.00 for passenger cars and $2.25 for other vehicles. During daytime hours 60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles.
A particular daytime period 15 vehicle crossed the bridge. Recall that during daytime period, 60% of all the vehicles are passenger vehicles . Therefore,
Passenger vehicles = 60% of 15
Passenger vehicles = 60/100 × 15
Passenger vehicles = 900/100
Passenger vehicles = 9
9 of the vehicles are passenger vehicle and the charges for passenger cars is $1.00. other vehicle is $2.25.
revenue for passenger cars = 1 × 9 = $9
revenue for other vehicles = 2.25 × 6 = $13.5
Total revenue = 13.5 + 9 = $22.5
