Answer 1

To determine the initial value of Anthony's gift card, we need to calculate the costs of his planned activities in addition to the amount he has already spent.

1. Cost of Using Batting Cages and Go-Karts:

   • Batting cages: $3
   • Go-karts: $5
   • Total cost for one visit (both activities) = \(3 + 5 = 8\)

2. Number of future visits:
   Anthony has 6 more visits planned.

3. Total cost for the 6 visits:
   Total cost = \(8 \times 6 = 48\)

4. Total spent so far:
   Anthony has spent $27.

5. Calculating the initial gift card amount:
   Initial value of gift card = Amount spent so far + Total cost for future visits
   Initial value = \(27 + 48 = 75\)

Thus, the gift card was initially worth $75.
