Question

It costs $20 to enter an amusement park and $0.50 to go on each ride. You have $24. How many rides are you able to go on?

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

If you have $24 and you buy a $20 ticket to get in, you are left with four dollars.

Since each ride is $0.50 and that is half a dollar, you can multiply four times two. This gives you eight.

Therefore, you can ride 8 rides :)

Answer 2

8 rides

Explanation:

20 + .50x = 24

-20 -20

.50x = 4

/.50 /.50

x = 8
