Question

Jerry goes to a theme park to ride the roller coasters. The theme park charges an entry fee in addition to a fee for each roller coaster ride. The table below represents the total price for two different numbers of roller coaster rides.

Answer 1

the first roller coaster is 35 for 5 which means $7 for 1 ride
the second roller coaster is 59 for 11 which means 59 divided by 11 get 5.36
5.36 times 11 = 58.96 probrably a combo so it is estimated upward

Answer 2

Price for entry fee is $15, and price for each ride is $4.

Explanation:

We have to tell how much it is for the entry fee and how much for each ride?

Let the price for roller coaster ride be = x

Let the price for the entry fee be = y

Looking at the table, we can form equations.

`5x+y=35` ...(1)

`11x+y=59` ....(2)

Now we will solve these. Subtracting equation 1 from equation 2.

`6x=24`

x = 4

Substituting value of x in equation 1

`5(4)+y=35`

`20+y=35`

`y=35-20=15`

Hence, y = 15

So, entry fee is $15

And price of per ride is $4
