Question

Robin spent $ 28 at an amusement park For admission and rides. If she paid $6 for admission and rides cost $2 each what is the total number of rides that she went on

Answer 1

11 rides

Explanation:

let the total amount be y

and let the number of ride be x

the expression for the situation is y=mx+c

given

total amount=$28

admission fee= $6

cost per ride=$2

we are expected to find x

substitute into the expression we have

28=2x+6

28-6=2x

22=2x

divide boths sides by 2 we have

x=22/2

x=11

the number of rides is 11
