Question

There is a new fair coming to town this weekend. Tickets are selling for $10.99 for adults and $5.99 for kids. Each ride is $0.99 cents each. Make an equation for adults tickets and another equations for kids ticket. How much money would each spend if they each ride 5 rides?

Answer 1

(a)Adult:10.99+0.99x, Kid: 5.99+0.99x

(b)Adult's Total cost = $15.94, Kid's Total cost =$10.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a ride = $0.99

Let x be the number of rides.

Cost of an Adult Ticket = $10.99

An equation for adult tickets will therefore be: 10.99+0.99x

Similarly, the cost of a kid ticket =$5.99

An equation for adult tickets will therefore be: 5.99+0.99x

(b)If they ride 5 tickets each, the amount of money spent will be:

x=5 rides

Total cost for an adult=10.99+0.99(5)

=10.99+4.95

=$15.94

Total cost for a kid = 5.99+0.99(5)

=5.99+4.95

=$10.94
