Question

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

An adult and child will each go on 7 ride. How much more did the adult spend?

Answer 1

The cost of admission for an adult is $10 and for a child is $6

The cost of each ride for an adult is $1.50 and for a child is $1

The adult will spend $10 for admission + $1.5 x 7 rides = $17.5

The child will spend $6 for admission + $1 x 7 rides = $13

The adult spent $17.5 - $13 = $4.5 more than the child.
