Question

Fun times amusement park charges a $5 admission fee plus $1.25 per ride. If Jesse spent $13.75, how many rides did she go on?

Answer 1

Let’s figure out how much Jesse spent on just rides...

$13.75 - $5 = $8.75

Okay, now that we know Jesse spent $8.75 on rides, we can determine how many rides she went on

$8.75 ÷ $1.25 = 7

Let’s check our work:

$1.25 x 7 = $8.75

Therefore, Jesse went on 7 rides at the amusement park

Hope this helps
