Question

Dan had $25 to spend at the State Fair. The admission to the fair is $4 and the rides cost $1.50 each, Write the inequality to describe the number of rides Daniel can go on.

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of rides Daniel can go on as "r".

The admission to the fair is $4, and the cost of each ride is $1.50.

So, the total cost of the rides can be expressed as 1.50r.

Since Daniel had $25 to spend, we can write the inequality:

4 + 1.50r ≤ 25

This inequality represents that the sum of the admission fee ($4) and the cost of the rides (1.50r) should be less than or equal to $25.
