Question

Each child at a birthday party was given $5 to spend at the Arcade on the games and rides. Each game cost $.25 and each ride cost $.50. Write an inequality for the number of games and rides a child can enjoy for $5. What is the maximum number of games or rides each children can enjoy?

Answer 1

The maximum number of rides a child can ride is 10. The maximum number of games a child can play is 20.

5/0.50 = 10 rides
5/0.25 = 20 games
