including blood was $8010 how many pints of blood to the patient receive?
a: 5
b: 6
c: 7
d: 8
pls explain

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The daily rate of hospital services = $ 615,

Also, there is an additional charge of $ 10 per pint,

If x be the number of pints in each day,

Then the daily additional charges for x pints = 10x dollars,

So, the total daily charges = 615 + 10x

∴ The total charges for 12 days = 12(615 + 10x)

According to the question,

12(615 + 10x) = 8010

615 + 10x = 667.5

10x = 52.5

x = 5.25 ≈ 5

Hence, the patient receive approximately 5 pint daily.

Option 'A' is correct.
