Question

Sydney is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $1.25 and each ride costs $2.25. Sydney spent $24.25 altogether at the carnival and the number of rides she went on is 3 more than the number of games she played. Determine the number of games Sydney played and the number of rides Sydney went on.

Answer 1

She went on 8 rides and 5 games because 2.25*8=18 1.25*5=6.25
18.00+6.25=24.25 and 8-5=3.
