Question

At an amusement park, a new thrill ride was introduced. It costs $7.50 for 3 rides on the Wild Slider. a) What is the Wild Slider’s unit rate per ride? b) At this rate, what would it cost for 18 rides on Wild Slider? Determine the answer two different ways.

Answer 1

The stadium’s seating options will include premium seats (boxes closest to the action), medium-priced seats, and budget-friendly bleachers. Your design calls for 4,500 upper-deck premium seats and 7,500 lower-deck premium seats. The team’s policy is to have a 3:2 ratio of premium seats to bleacher seats. How many bleacher seats will the stadium include?

Answer: 8,000 bleacher seats. 4,500 + 7,500 premium seats = 12,000. 12,000/x = 3/2. x = 8,000.
