Question

You are going to an amement park over Spring Break The cost of admission to enter the park is $30 and the rides are an additional $6 each. If your parents give you $100 to spend at the amement park, what is the maximum number of rides you can go on?

Answer 1

To determine the maximum number of rides you can go on at the amusement park, we need to consider the cost of admission and the cost of each ride, as well as the total amount of money you have to spend.

Explanation:

1. Cost of admission: The cost of admission is $30, which is a one-time fee to enter the park.

2. Cost of each ride: Each ride costs an additional $6.

3. Total amount of money: You have $100 to spend at the amusement park.

To find the maximum number of rides, we can subtract the cost of admission from the total amount of money and divide the remaining amount by the cost of each ride.

Remaining amount after admission = $100 - $30 = $70.

Maximum number of rides = Remaining amount after admission / Cost of each ride.

Maximum number of rides = $70 / $6 = 11.67.

Since we cannot have a fraction of a ride, the maximum number of rides you can go on is 11 rides.

Please note that this calculation assumes that you will spend all of your money on rides and not on any other expenses such as food or souvenirs. Additionally, some rides may have height or age restrictions, so the actual number of rides you can go on may be lower depending on these factors.
