Kara Neal · Answer 1

Given: Price of the Pass

Jason’s money = $39.50

Let X=Price of Pass

Price of Souvenir = 12X

Price of Burger=13 (12X)

Amount Left=4.50

X+12X + (13 (12X) = 39.50-4.50

X+12x+156X=35

169X=35

X=35/169=0.207101

Price of Pass=0.207101=0.21

Price of Souvenir = 12X = 2.485207=2.49

Price of Burger=13 (12X) = 13 (2.485207) = 32.30769=32.30

To verify:

.21+2.49+32.30=35
