Question

Cameron is going to the carnival. The price of admission to the carnival is $6.50, and each ride costs an additional 0.75 cents. If Cameron can spend at most $20.00 at the carnival, which inequality represents all the possible values of r rides Cameron can go on? A) 0.75 + 6.50r ≤ 20.00 B) 0.75 + 6.50r ≥ 20.00 C) 6.50 + 0.75r ≤ 20.00 D) 6.50 + 0.75r ≥ 20.00

Answer 1

r = the number of rides

0.75r + 6.50 ≤ 20.00

[They charge $0.75 per ride (r) plus an admission fee of $6.50, and he can spend at most (maximum) $20. This means that he can spend $20 or less]

Your answer is C

Answer 2

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The price of admission to the carnival is $6.50.

Cost per ride = 0.75

Money Cameron having = 20 $

Let the number of rides be r, he cannot spend more than 20 $

That is

6.50 + 0.75 r ≤ 20.00

Option C is the correct answer.
