Question

You have $15. a. How much money do you have left if you ride each ride once? You have $ left. b. Do you have enough money to ride each ride twice? Explain. It costs $ to ride each ride once, and you have $ left.

Answer 1

a.) Money left = $1

b) No

Explanation:

Given - You have $15. It costs $ to ride each ride once,

To find - a. How much money do you have left if you ride each ride once?

b. Do you have enough money to ride each ride twice? Explain.

Proof -

As it is not given in the question that, how much cost to ride each ride once.

Let us assume that,

The cost for each ride = $2

Total rides = 7

Now,

Total money we have = $15

a.)

Given, cost for 1 ride = $2

⇒ Cost for 7 rides = 7×$2 = $14

∴ Money left = $15 - $14 = $1

b.)

Given,

Cost for 1 ride = $2

Cost of 1 ride if we ride twice = 2×$2 = $4

Cost of 7 rides if we ride twice = 7×$4 = $28

As $28 > $15

So, we cannot ride each ride twice.
