1. **State the problem:**
Joanie has 50.75 dollars and buys three items: a burger, a souvenir, and a pass. The burger costs \(\frac{1}{6}\) as much as the souvenir, and the souvenir costs \(\frac{3}{4}\) the cost of the pass. After buying these, she has 2.00 dollars left. We need to find the cost of each item.
2. **Define variables:**
Let \(p\) be the cost of the pass.
Then the souvenir costs \(s = \frac{3}{4}p\).
The burger costs \(b = \frac{1}{6}s = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{4}p = \frac{3}{24}p = \frac{1}{8}p\).
3. **Write the total cost equation:**
Total money - leftover = sum of costs
\[
50.75 - 2.00 = b + s + p
\]
\[
48.75 = b + s + p
\]
Substitute \(b\) and \(s\):
\[
48.75 = \frac{1}{8}p + \frac{3}{4}p + p
\]
4. **Combine like terms:**
Find common denominator 8:
\[
\frac{1}{8}p + \frac{6}{8}p + \frac{8}{8}p = \frac{1+6+8}{8}p = \frac{15}{8}p
\]
So:
\[
48.75 = \frac{15}{8}p
\]
5. **Solve for \(p\):**
Multiply both sides by \(\frac{8}{15}\):
\[
p = 48.75 \times \frac{8}{15}
\]
Calculate:
\[
p = 48.75 \times \frac{8}{15} = 48.75 \times 0.5333... = 26
\]
6. **Find \(s\) and \(b\):**
\[
s = \frac{3}{4}p = \frac{3}{4} \times 26 = 19.5
\]
\[
b = \frac{1}{8}p = \frac{1}{8} \times 26 = 3.25
\]
7. **Check the sum:**
\[
3.25 + 19.5 + 26 = 48.75
\]
Add leftover 2.00:
\[
48.75 + 2.00 = 50.75
\]
Matches the total money Joanie had.
**Final answer:**
- Burger cost: \$3.25
- Souvenir cost: \$19.50
- Pass cost: \$26.00
