When Groundhog Day is on a weekday,
around15,000 people
attend the events in
Punxsutawney, PA. If two-
thirds take the shuttle bus
to the park for $5 and the
rest pay $25 for parking,
how much money does
the city earn?

Work Shown:

2/3 of 15,000 = (2/3)*15000 = 10,000

This means 10,000 people take the shuttle bus to the park. If each person pays $5 to take the bus, then the city earns 5*10,000 = 50,000 dollar through this option.

The rest pay for parking, so 15,000-10,000 = 5,000 people pay for parking. At $25 each, this amounts to 25*5,000 = 125,000 dollars earned through this option.

Overall, the city earns a total of 50,000+125,000 = 175,000 dollars

Side note: this assumes that the remaining 5,000 people all take separate cars and no single car has more than one person. This is very unrealistic as there are likely to be families or carpools of some kind. So in reality, the answer shown above is an upper estimate of the total revenue.

v = 1/3 a^2h

step-by-step explanation:

if the height is 57.7cm and the height of the slant edge is 18.2cm, then the volume is 1/3 a^2h.
