Question

assume that a single disposable vape costs $9.95 each.

1. calculate the weekly cost for smoking for a person who uses one vape per week as well as for a person who uses two vapes per week.

1 per week 9.95
2 per week is 19.9

1. how much would that same person spend in a 30-day month?
2. how much would that person spend in one year?
3. if that person begins vaping when he/she is 14 and dies of cancer at the age of 50, how much money has that person spent on cigarettes?
4. by being a non-vaper over a span of 60 years, how much money could you save? (use information from #3)
5. list 5 things you could buy with the answer you got for #5.
6. on average, each vape a person uses takes 2.5 hours off that persons life span. if someone one vape a day for 35 years, how much will vaping shorten that persons life? (round to the nearest year)

525, 949 minutes = 1 year

Explanation:

For Question 9:

Step1: 1 vape weekly cost

$\$9.95 \times 1 = \$9.95$

Step2: 2 vapes weekly cost

$\$9.95 \times 2 = \$19.90$

For Question 10 (using 1 vape/week first, then 2 vapes/week):

Step1: Calculate weekly to daily rate (1 vape)

Daily rate: $\frac{1}{7}$ vape/day

Step2: 30-day cost (1 vape/week)

$\$9.95 \times \frac{1}{7} \times 30 \approx \$42.64$

Step3: Daily rate (2 vapes/week)

Daily rate: $\frac{2}{7}$ vape/day

Step4: 30-day cost (2 vapes/week)

$\$9.95 \times \frac{2}{7} \times 30 \approx \$85.29$

For Question 11 (1 vape/week, then 2 vapes/week):

Step1: Annual weeks count

52 weeks/year

Step2: 1 vape/year cost

$\$9.95 \times 52 = \$517.40$

Step3: 2 vapes/year cost

$\$19.90 \times 52 = \$1034.80$

For Question 12 (1 vape/week, then 2 vapes/week):

Step1: Calculate vaping years

$50 - 14 = 36$ years

Step2: 1 vape total cost

$\$517.40 \times 36 = \$18,626.40$

Step3: 2 vapes total cost

$\$1034.80 \times 36 = \$37,252.80$

For Question 13 (note: using 1 vape/week as reference, since #3 is missing; adjust if #3 is 2 vapes):

Step1: 60-year cost (1 vape)

$\$517.40 \times 60 = \$31,044.00$

Step2: 60-year cost (2 vapes)

$\$1034.80 \times 60 = \$62,088.00$
(Savings equal these amounts as non-vaper)

For Question 15:

Step1: Calculate total vapes in 35 years

$365 \times 35 = 12,775$ vapes

Step2: Total lost hours

$12,775 \times 2.5 = 31,937.5$ hours

Step3: Convert hours to minutes

$31,937.5 \times 60 = 1,916,250$ minutes

Step4: Convert to years

$\frac{1,916,250}{525949} \approx 3.64$

Step5: Round to nearest year

$\text{Round}(3.64) = 4$ years

Answer:

1. 1 vape per week: $\$9.95$; 2 vapes per week: $\$19.90$
2. 1 vape per week: $\approx\$42.64$; 2 vapes per week: $\approx\$85.29$
3. 1 vape per week: $\$517.40$; 2 vapes per week: $\$1034.80$
4. 1 vape per week: $\$18,626.40$; 2 vapes per week: $\$37,252.80$
5. 1 vape per week equivalent savings: $\$31,044.00$; 2 vapes per week equivalent savings: $\$62,088.00$
6. (Example items for $\$18,626.40$ from Q12 1 vape): Used car, small home renovation, high-end laptop, family vacation, full year of college tuition credits
7. 4 years
