Beth is going to the state fair. Each ride costs $8 to ride and each exhibit costs $5 to view.

Let x represent the number of rides Beth rides and y represent the number of exhibits she views. Which expression describes the number of rides and exhibits Beth can ride and view if she has at most $65 to spend at the fair?

A. $8x + $5y < $65
B. $5x + $8y < $65
C. $5x + $8y > $65
D. $8x + $5y > $65

Answer 1

8x + 5y ≤ 65

Explanation:

let x = number of rides

let y = number of exhibits

Given:

• Cost of ride = $8
• Cost to view exhibit = $5
• Max amount to spend = $65

8x + 5y ≤ 65
