If an arena charges $6.50 to park in satellite parking and $10.00 to park in an arena lot, how much will be made from parking 12,000 vehicles at the arena and 3,500 in satellites?

$142,750.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an arena charges $6.50 to park in satellite parking and $10.00 to park in an arena lot.

First of all let us find the amount earned from parking 12,000 vehicles at the arena by multiplying the number of vehicles to parking fees at arena.

Now let us find the amount earned from parking 3,500 vehicles in satellites, by multiplying the number of vehicles to parking fees at satellites.

The total amount earned by the arena will be amount earned from arena parking plus satellites parking.

Therefore, the total amount earned was $142,750.

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
