Question

Dylan is going to the fair and has $35. He is going to use $5 for food. The admission is $7, and rides are $1.85 each.

Which of the following equations could you use to find how many rides Dylan can go on?

$12 = $35 + $1.85 x
$35 = $1.85 + $12 x
$1.85 x = $47
$35 = $12 + $1.85 x

Answer 1

$35 = $12 + $1.85x

Explanation:

the total is 35 so it is alone on the left side of the equal sign

then 5 + 7 is 12 and he has to spend $12

rides are 1.85 each so there is a x next to it
