Answer 1

The park charges 1.50 per ride.

1. Louisa bought 15 ride tickets at 1.50 each.

Equation: C = Entry Fee + 1.50t

t = 15.

c = 30.75

30.75 = Entry Fee + 1.50(15)

30.75 = Entry fee + 22.50

Entry fee = 30.75 - 22.50

Entry fee = $8.25

2. Entry fee was calculated as 8.25 from #1.

Tickets are 1.50 each.

He can spend 22.

22 = 8.25 + 1.50t

Subtract 8.25 from both sides:

13.75 = 1.50t

Divide both sides by 1.50:

t = 13.75 / 1.50

t = 9.2

He can buy 9 tickets.
