Question

At a state fair, each person pays $8 for admission plus $2 for each ride. While at the fair, Elizabeth goes on 6 rides. Which expression can be used to find the total amount Elizabeth spends?

Answer 1

The expression is given as:

Total amount = 8 + 2x

Total amount = $20

Explanation:

Let the number of rides Elizabeth goes on be represented by x

The expression used to find the total amount =

$8 + $2 × x

= 8 +2x

Elizabeth goes on 6 rides

Total amount =

8 + 2 × 6

= 8 + 12

= $20
