Question

It costs $21.50 to enter an amusement park and $0.50 to ride a ride. You have $24. Write an equation that represents the number r of rides you can ride.

Answer 1

$24.00=$21.50+r*$.50

Explanation:

total cost= entrance fee + r (number of rides) * $0.50 (cost of rides)

$24.00=$21.50+r*$.50

2.50=r*.50

2.5/.5=r

r=5
