Answer: The number 12 represents admission charge in Mariana's equation.

Explanation:

As per given ,

Total cost = ( Charge per ticket) (Number of tickets) + (Admission fees) (i)

For x = Number of tickets, the total cost (c) for a day at the amusement park is given as


c = 1.50x + 12 (ii)

Here, 12 = Admission fees [Comparing (i) and (ii)]

Hence, the number 12 represents admission charge in Mariana's equation.
