Kate loves painting. She decided to go to an Art-museum in her city. The entrance fee is $5. Kate loved the visit so much, that she decided to go there once a month. After 1 year, the ticket price increased to $7 and Kate decided she is going to visit the museum only 4 times a year. How much did Kate pay for all visits to the Art-museum after 3 years of visiting?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
One year is 12 months, so during the first year, Kate spent $5 / month * 12 months / year = $60 / year on the tickets. After that, she went to the museum for 3 years - 1 year = 2 more years. During this time, she visited the museum 2 years * 4 visits / year = 8 visits. She had to pay the higher price of $7, so she spent $7 / visit * 8 visits = $56 in two last years. In total Kate paid $56 + $60 = $116 during 3 years.
Thus, the answer is 116.
