Question

At a carnival, single rides cost $2 each, and all day ride passes cost $15. The total revenue for the day was $2,960. Which equation can be used to represent x, the number of single ride passes sold and y, the number of all day ride passes sold?

2x + 15y = 2,960
12x + 5y = 2,960
15x + 2y = 2,960
17x + 15y = 2,960

Answer 1

2x + 15y + 2,960

Explanation:

Single Rides are $2 each, represented by x

All day passes are $15 each represented by y

Combined they equal the total revenue; 2,960.
