Question

A 7th grade class is going on a class trip to an amusement park. The total cost for each student is $49.

Included in that price is $7 admission fee to the park and 3 Ferris wheel passes.

Which equation is set up and solved correctly to determine the cost of 1 Ferris wheel pass (F)?

A. F = (49 - 7) / 3
B. F = (49 - 7) * 3
C. F = 49 - 7 - 3
D. F = 49 - 7 / 3

Answer 1

The correct equation to determine the cost of 1 Ferris wheel pass is F = (49 - 7) / 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation to determine the cost of 1 Ferris wheel pass (F) is option A: F = (49 - 7) / 3.

To find the cost of 1 Ferris wheel pass, we subtract the admission fee from the total cost and divide the result by the number of Ferris wheel passes. In this case, the admission fee is $7 and the total cost is $49, so we subtract $7 from $49 to get $42. Then, we divide $42 by 3 (the number of Ferris wheel passes) to get $14, which is the cost of 1 Ferris wheel pass.
