Final answer:

The correct answer is A) Domain: Number of rides Neville and his friends go on; Range: Cost of tickets, since the domain refers to the controlled variable of rides, and the range refers to the resulting cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question at hand involves understanding the domains and ranges associated with the use of tickets at a peach festival and the relationship between the number of rides and the cost. To determine the correct answer among the choices given, we associate the domain with the independent variable (which in this case is the number of rides Neville and his friends go on) and the range with the dependent variable (the cost that depends on the number of rides taken). Therefore, the domain will be the number of rides, and the range will be the total cost for these rides.

Based on this understanding, the domain is 'Number of rides Neville and his friends go on' because that's the variable you have control over - you choose how many rides to go on. The range is 'Cost of tickets' as it depends directly on the number of rides they go on, at a fixed cost per ride.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A) Domain: Number of rides Neville and his friends go on; Range: Cost of tickets
