Today's Homework

  1. Just one today! - Lunar Theme Park p.4
Okay, so this is a bit complicated. You (should!) have already worked out the number of rides, cafes, shops, paths and car parks in your theme park. So, you know how much money you have used out of your $500 000. You have also chosen a price to charge the visitors so you know how much GATE money you have. That means the money that is given in at the gate of the park.

Now, you need to work out how much money you will earn from your cafes and shops. If you have one cafe, every visitor will spend $3. If you have 2 cafes, every visitor will spend $6 and so on in multiples of 3. Every shop will make $5 per visitor ($10 for 2 shops and so on).

On Day 1 you will get 224 visitors. If you have 2 shops and 1 cafe you will earn 224 x $10 plus 224 x $3. Your job is to work out the money you will earn from the gate, the shops and the cafes for FIVE (5) days. Do NOT do it for all 31 days unless you really want to. Use a CALCULATOR!
