Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Your question isn't complete but I believe that you want to know the number of rides that Katie can take.

Based on the information in the question, we can form an equation. Let the number of rides that Katie can take be represented by x. Therefore,

12 + (1.25 × x) = 50

12 + 1.25x = 50

1.25x = 50 - 12

1.25x = 38

x = 38/1.25

x = 30.4

Therefore, Katie can take at most 30 rides.
