Question

Elijah goes to the county fair with $20. The entrance fee is $3.75 and each ride cost 3.25. Which inequality can be used to find the number of rides elijah can go on

Answer 1

Don't know you answer options, but Elijah can go on 5 rides.

Something like x≤ 5? This would mean the number of rides Elijah can go on in less than or equal to 5

Explanation:

Subtract the entrance fee from the amount of starting money.

$20 - $3.75 = $16.25 for rides

Divide $16.25 by $3.25 per ride to find the number of rides Elijah can go on.

$16.25 ÷ $3.25 = 5 rides

To check, multiply 5 by 3.25, and then take that product and add 3.75. You should get 20.
