Two county fairs are nearby, and Marc is trying to determine which one would be best to attend. Both fairs sell tickets for rides, food, games and more. Polk County Fair is charging a $10 entry fee, and each ticket costs $2.50. Pinellas County Fair isn't charging an entry fee, but each ticket costs $3.

Answer:

Explanation:

It depends on how many tickets Marc will need.

For t tickets, Polk costs 10+2.5t and Pinellas costs 3t.

10+2.5t = 3t

t = 20

If Marc needs fewer than 20 tickets, Pinellas is the more economical choice.
