Question

An amusement park charges $20 to enter the

park and an additional fee for each time a guest
rides a roller coaster. Emily rode 5 times on a
roller coaster. Her total payment was $40.
Shaheem rode 7 times on a roller coaster. What
was his total payment?

Answer 1

Shaheem paid $76 as his total.

Explanation:

He paid $20 to get in, Emily paid $40 for 5 rides, and if you divide that to get the payment for one ride which is $8. So you multiply 8 by 7 because 7 is how many rides he rode which equals to 56, plus 20(his enter fee) would be $76.
