A. 5 rides

B.6 rides

C. 8 rides

D. 14 rides

Answer 1

Answer: B. 6 rides

Explanation:

To find this out, deduct all the expenses mentioned from the amount Daniel came to the park with.

= 79.5 - 31.75 - 9.25 - 5.50

= $33.00

Daniel has $33.00 to spend on rides.

If each ride costs $5.50, the number of rides he can go on is:

= 33 / 5.5

= 6 rides
