  Royal Botanic Gardens How much do you have to pay if you want to dedicate a bench for a period of ten years? You have to pay from $12,500 to $19,500. If you become a member, how often do you receive the Gardens Magazine? You can receive 3 magazines per year. Choose from any of the plants, flowers or trees that you can find at the website and say why you have chosen it. Find a photo. too. I chose the carnivorous plant because these kind of plants are not very known, and from my point of view, they are so interesting and curious how they survive and how they feed. In addition, I never saw one in my entire life and I would like to do it.

  Taronga Zoo How much does a group of eight teenagers (14 years old save if they buy all their tickets online)? To calculate this amount of money we will do the operation little by little.  1. Price of each teenager’s ticket: 27,90 (without discount).  2. The discount of 20% is the 20% of 27,90: £5,58 would be the amount of money they would save  3. The price of one entrance with discount would be: - Price with discount: 27,90-5,58= £22,32. 4. To calculate the total price for 8 teenagers with discount we just have to: -Total with discount: 22,32x8= £178,56. 5. The total without discount for all the teenagers is: - Total without discount: 27,90x8= £223,20. 6. And to finish, the total they would save would be: - Total 223,2-178,56= £44,64. So, the total amount the 8 teenagers would save would be £44,64. Can you spend a night at the zoo? What types of accommodations can you find? Yes! You can spend a night in a luxury hotel room with all types of facilities, such as ai...

By the way, talking about the content of the video, in my opinion it is great to show lots of fun facts of Australia in a remarkable way to attract more people, specially childs.
