Part A: Write an equation that models this situation.

Part B: Tony believes he and Mia can go on 12 rides each. Do you agree or disagree?

Part C: If Mia contributes an additional $20 to the total amount of money they could spend, how many more additional rides can Tony and Mia go on?​

Answer:

A. 10+10+5x=80 or 20+5x=80

B. Disagree, After the pay for each person to get in the have 60 dollars left. Each ride costs 5 dollars. 60 divided by 5=12 and each of them would need a ticket, so they could only ride 6 rides/

C. 20/5=4=they could by an additional 4 tickets, each would need a ticket so they could ride 2 more rides each

Explanation:

80-20=60

60/5=12

Answer:

Below are the answers

Explanation:

Part A: The equation would be 5x - 20 = 80

Part B: I disagree, because each ride is $5 and if they both go on 12 that would host $120 and they only have $60 to spend. Since we took away $20 for tickets.

Part C: If Mia adds $20 dollars it would look like this 5x - 20 + 20 = 80 or

5x = 80 They would be able to go on 4 more additional rides. Because the original equation they can only go on 12 rides now they can go on 16 rides.

Hope this helps ya!
