Question

Fatou paid $8.50 for admission to the amusement park. All of the rides in the park cost $5.50 each.

Fatou plans on spending $80 in total. How many rides will she be able to go on?

Answer 1

Answer: The Answer would be 13 rides

Explanation:

First you need to subtract the $8.50 from the $80 which would be $71.5, then you'll have to divide the $5.50 from the $71.5 which you should end up with 13

Answer 2

13 rides

First, deduct the price of the admission to the park from the $80.

$80.00 - $8.50 = $71.50

This is the amount she has left over to spend on rides.

Now, divide that amount by using the cost of the rides.

$71.50 ÷ $5.50 = 13 rides

This is the amount of rides she will be able to go on.
