A zoo has two new elephants, Asia and Benji. Asia eats 1/2 ton of hay each week. Benji eats 1/4 ton of hay each week. They each eat 10 pounds of green leaves a day. Asia drinks 100 gallons of water each week, and Benji drinks about 80 gallons. Hay costs $200 per ton. The green leaves cost $.50 per pound. How much money does it cost to feed Asia and Benji for one year?

Respuesta :

I'm disregarding the water part because you haven't listed the price (just for reference there are 9360 gallons of water that the elephants consume per year). It costs $11,450 to feed Asia and Benji for one year.

1/2(52) + 1/4(52) = 39 tons of hay
39(200) = $7,800

10(365) = 3650
3650(2) = 7,300
7,300(.5) = $3650

$7,800 + $3650 = 11,450
