Question

Playland Park charges $25 admission plus $2 per ride. Funland Park charges $35 admission plus $1 per ride. For what number of rides is the total cost the same at both parks? Does any body know the answer to this question?

Answer 1

10 rides

Explanation:

Make an equation.

25 + 2x = 35 + 1x

Subract 1x from the 2x to get 1.

New Equation: 25 + 1x = 35

Subtract 25 from 35 to get 10.

New Equation: 1x = 10

Divide 1 from both sides.

Answer: 10 rides
