Answer:
The cost per visit is $1.53 (the option D.)
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
- Cost to your health per year = $159
- Number of visits per week = 2
On average, one year can be considered to contain 52 weeks. Then, dividing the amount of the annual cost ($ 159) by the number of weeks you can get the price paid for visits made during a week in a year:
[tex]\frac{159}{52}[/tex]≅$3.06
Knowing that during one week two visits are made, you can divide the price paid for the week by this amount of visits:
[tex]\frac{3.06}{2} =1.53[/tex]
Another way to raise the problem is as follows:
As mentioned earlier, there are 52 weeks in a year. And there are 2 visits in 1 week
. So in 52 weeks , there will be:
52 weeks*2 visits=104 visits per year
By dividing the price paid annually by the number of visits per year it is possible to obtain the cost of each visit:
[tex]\frac{159}{104} =1.53[/tex]
As you can see, in both cases the same result is obtained.
Finally, the cost per visit is $1.53 (the option D.)
