Question

You are deciding between two carnivals to attend. Carnuval A charges an entry fee of $15. Carnival B charges $5 for entry, plus $2 per ride(r)

a)Write an equation that determines how many rides, r, you will need to go on for the cost to be the same.
B)Enter the number of rides it will take for the cost to be the same.

Answer 1

Explanation:

use these two equations

A: y = 15

B: y = 2r + 5

a) set the equations equal to eachother for your first answer

15 = 2r + 5

B) solve for r

15 = 2r + 5

10 = 2r

5 = r

after 5 rides the cost will be the same
