Question

Amanda plans on going to the amusement park this Friday. It costs $25.00 to

enter the park, and then $1.25 for every ride that Amanda goes on. What will be
the total cost if Amanda goes on 9 rides?

Answer 1

$36.25

Explanation:

To enter the park, Amanda pays 25 dollars.

+$25

It costs 1.25 for every ride that Amanda goes on.

Since we don't know the number of rides Amanda goes on, we will add a variable to represent the number of rides.

1.25x

Then, the passage says that Amanda goes on 9 rides. So, substitute 9 for x.

Equation: 25+1.25(9)

Then solve:

$36.25
