Before solving an exercise, collect all the information that is needed to answer the question(s). Usually, most of the relevant, and sometimes irrelevant, information is provided in the text. However, in the case of practical exercises, you may have to search for additional information in order to solve the problem.
Example 1
Reka is \latex{ 25 }, her brother Andy is \latex{ 11 } years old. They would like to travel to Paris from Budapest on the \latex{ 21 }st of April for two weeks. They got the pamphlet above at the travel agency.
How much does the bus cost for both of them, if
- they can buy their tickets at least \latex{ 30 } days before the trip;
- they can only buy their tickets \latex{ 1 } week before the trip?
Solution
We have to find the information in the table about the bus ticket prices that are relevant to Reka’s ticket.
April \latex{ 21 }st is in the pre-season, so we have to look at the second row. Naturally we would like to buy the least expensive ticket that we can (only one discount can be used at one time).
- In Reka’s case, the advance purchase ticket is the cheapest €\latex{ 80 }. In case of her brother, the child ticket is the cheapest €\latex{ 65 }. Altogether: \latex{80+65=145}€.
The return trip for the two of them costs €\latex{ 145 }.
- If they cannot purchase tickets in advance, Reka should buy the youth ticket, it costs €\latex{ 120 }. The least expensive ticket for the brother now is €\latex{ 65 }.
Altogether: \latex{120+65= 185} €.
The return trip for the two of them costs €\latex{ 185 }.
The return trip for the two of them costs €\latex{ 185 }.
