Question

It costs a general admission fee of $6 to get into the fair and then $1 for each ride. Which of the following equations would represent the total cost to ride x rides at the fair?

Answer 1

6+(1x), because you have to pay $6 first and then you add $1 per ride.

Answer 2

Total cost to ride x rides at the fair is C(x) = 6+x

Explanation:

We have been given that the general admission fee to get into the fair = $6

And for each ride they charges $1

Hence, for the x ride they will charge = $(1x) = $x

Therefore, the total cost to ride x rides at the fair is given by

Total cost = general admission fee + charge for x rides

C(x) = 6+x
