Question

A boy at an amusement park has 38 ride tickets. Each ride on the roller coaster costs 5 tickets. After riding the roller coaster as many times as he can,how many tickets will the boy have left?

Answer 1

He will expend 35 tickets for 7 rides. 3 tickets are left.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of tickets= 38

Tickets per ride= 5

To calculate the number of rides he can make, we need to use the following formula:

Number of rides= number of tickets / tickets per ride

Number of rides= 38/5

Number of rides= 7.6 = 7 rides

He will expend 35 tickets for 7 rides. 3 tickets are left.
