Answer: 3:1
Explanation:
Let the cost of a game ticket be g.
Let the cost of a ride ticket be r.
The information given can be formed into an equation which will be:
3g + 4r = 39
Since Five ride tickets cost $15, the cost of each ride ticket will be:
= $15/5
= $3.
Therefore, 3g + 4r = 39
We put the value of r = $3 into the equation
3g + 4(3) = 39
3g + 12 = 39
3g = 39 - 12
3g = 27
g = 27/3
g = 9
The cost of a game ticket is $9
The ratio of the cost of a game ticket to the cost of a ride ticket will be:
= 9/3
= 3/1
= 3:1
The ratio is 3:1
