Answer 1

$30

Explanation:

Calculation for the tickets that must be purchased for Carnival T and Carnival Q to be the same

Based on the information given let x be the number of ticket to be purchased .

Carnival T entrance fee= $7.00

Ride= $0.50 per ticket

Carnival Q entree fee =12.00

Ride= $0.25 per ticket

Tickets=$7.00 + ($0.50* x) = $12.00 + ($0.25* x)

.25 x = 5.00

Hence:

x=$.25+$5.00

×=$30

Therefore the amount of tickets that must be purchased in order for the total cost at Carnival T and Carnival Q to be the same will be $30
