Question

The admission to a local fair is $10 for each adult and $6 for each child. Each ride costs $1.50 for an adult and $1 for a child.

A. Write an Expression that represents how much more an adult will spend at the fair.

B. An Adult and a child each go on 7 rides. How much more did the adult spend?

Please Help!!! This is part of my homework !!

Answer 1

R will be the variable of the rides in the following expression


The expression is (10+1.5r) - (6+ 1r)

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I'm not very good with expressions, so I'll answer B.

1.50 × 7 = 10.5 + 10 = 20.5

1 × 7 = 7 + 6 = 13

20.5 - 13 = 7.5

The adult spent $7.5 more dollars than the child.

Someone please write an expression and solve A! :)
