Question

Francis has $25 to spend at the state fair. If admission is $4 and each ride costs $2, what is the most amount of rides that Francis can go on?

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

You start off with $25 dollars, the admission fee is $4 dollars, so you subtract 4 from what you have:

$25 - $4

$21

Now every ride costs $2 dollars, divide the amount you have now by the amount of each ride:

$21 / $2

10.5

Of course since you can't go on half a ride, you would round down in this case. Meaning you can go on 10 rides.

Answer 2

Answer: Francis can go on a maximum of 10 rides at the state fair with the given amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation: To determine the maximum number of rides Francis can go on, we need to calculate how much money he will have left after paying for the admission fee and each ride.

Given:

Amount of money Francis has: $25

Admission fee: $4

Cost per ride: $2

First, let's subtract the admission fee from the total amount of money Francis has:

$25 - $4 = $21

Now, let's calculate how many rides Francis can go on with the remaining money:

$21 ÷ $2 = 10.5

Since Francis cannot go on a fraction of a ride, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of rides Francis can go on is 10.
