Question

11. The entry fee to the fair is $4. Each ride requires a ticket that costs $0.50. Heidi spent a total of

$12 at the fair. How many ride tickets did she purchase?

Answer 1

she already paid 4 dollars so .. 0.50* 24=12.00 but divided means she rode 24 rides

Answer 2

16 ride tickets.

Explanation:

The original entry fee is $4 so you can subtract that from 12. Now you have $8. So you would double 8 since $0.50 is half of $1. 8x2 is 16.
