Write an equation and solve:

Blake and two of his friends are going to an amusement park. The cost of admission to the park is $39.95 per person. Once they are in the park, Blake and his friends ride the race cars, which require an additional fee. If the total amount spent by all three boys is $143.70, then what is the additional fee to ride the race cars?

Answer 1

$23.85

Explanation:

Take $39.35 and multiply x3

(39.35 x 3) OR (39.35 + 39.35 + 39.35)

Then take $143.70 and subtract.

($143.70 - $119.85)

= $23.85

Answer 2

$23.85

Explanation:

39.95 x 3 which can also be 39.95 + 39.95 + 39.95=119.85

So then do 143.70-119.85 to find the answer which is 23.85.
