Question

ryan cam spend no kore than 50$at the county fair. admisson is 8.50 and rides cost 4$. write and solve an equation to find the greatest number of rides Ryan can go on

Answer 1

For this case we can do the following:

Let x = number of rides.

We know that Ryan can spend no more than 50$ so we can do this:

8.5 + 4x <=50

We can solve for x and we got:

4x <= 50- 8.5

4x <= 41.5

x <= 10.375

So then Ryan can use 10 rides
