Question

The admission to a local carnival is $6.50 per person and $2.50 for each ride. Jenna wants to know much it will cost her to ride a certain number of rides at the carnival. Which equation can she use to create a table with this information (where p is the number of persons, r is the number of rides, and t is the total cost of admission and rides)?

6.50p + 2.50 = t
6.50 + 2.50r = t
6.50r + 2.50 = t
6.50 + 2.50p = t

Answer 1

6.50 + 2.50r = t

6.50 is being paid only once, while she pays 2.50 for each ride, or r. t is the total cost of the two when added together.

Answer 2

`6.50+2.50r=t`

Explanation:

Given : The admission to a local carnival is $6.50 per person and $2.50 for each ride.

To Find: Which equation can she use to create a table with this information (where p is the number of persons, r is the number of rides, and t is the total cost of admission and rides)?

Solution:

We are given that Jenna wants to know much it will cost her to ride a certain number of rides at the carnival.

Since no. of person is 1

So, Admission cost for Jenna is $6.50

Now let us suppose she wants to have r number of rides.

Cost of 1 ride = $2.50

Cost of r ride = $2.50r

So, total cost of Jenna = 6.50+2.50r

Since we are given that t denotes the total cost

So,
`6.50+2.50r=t`

Hence she use an equation
`6.50+2.50r=t` to create a table with this information.

So, option B is correct.
