Question

Ava is going to the county fair. The cost of admission is $5.50 and it is $1.50 for each ride. If Ava has $19.00, Write and solve an equation to determine how many rides Ava can ride.

Answer 1

5.50 + 1.50x = 19

x = 9

Ava can ride 9 rides.

Explanation:

5.50 + 1.50x = 19

-5.50 -5.50

1.50x = 13.50 (divide both sides by 1.50)

x = 9
