Question

your are going to a carnival the admission fee is 6 dollars and each ride cost 0.75 dollars you have 15 dollars how many rides can you go on

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Admission fee = 6 dollars

ride cost = $0.75

Let's call x to the number of rides.

We have 15 dollars, so the relationship is as follows:

15 = 6 + 0.75x

Subtracting -6 to both sides:

15 - 6 = 0.75x

Simplifying:

9 = 0.75x

Dividing both sides by 0.75:

9/0.75 = x

Simplifying:

12 = x

Switching sides:

x = 12

Answer: I can go on 12 rides.
