A photo-mat shop charges $0.55 for the first photo inside a film, and 40% cents less for each additional photo. How many photos can we develop with $52.58 if each film contains 30 photos?

Quiz

Answer/Solution

3 films and 28 photos

Steps/Work

1st photo = 0.55
Subsequent = 0.55*0.6=0.33
Price of 1 full film=0.55+0.33*35=12.1
Price of 4 full film = 12.1*4=48.4
52.58-48.4=4.18
4.18=0.55+0.33x
x=11
52.58--->3 full films and 1+11=28 photos
