Answer:
25 tickets
Explanation:
Carnival M charges an entrance fee of $5.00 and $0.65 per ticket for the rides. Carnival P charges an entrance fee of $10.00 and $0.45 per ticket for the rides. How many tickets must be purchased in order for the total cost at Carnival M and Carnival P to be the same?
Let
x = number of tickets
Carnival M = 5 + 0.65x
Carnival P = 10 + 0.45x
Equate both cost
5 + 0.65x = 10 + 0.45x
5 - 10 = 0.45x - 0.65x
-5 = - 0.20x
x = -5 / -0.20
x = 25 tickets
25 tickets tickets must be purchased in order for the total cost at Carnival M and Carnival P to be the same
