Question

Will mark the BRANLIEST.

Beverly has $50 to spend at an amusement park. Admission to the park is $15. She plans to spend $10 on food. Each ride costs $1.50. What is the maximum number of rides she can ride?

1. Define a variable for this situation.
2. Write an inequality to represent the possible number of rides she can ride.
3.Solve the inequality from #2 to determine the maximum number of rides she can ride.
4.5. If Beverly rides the maximum number of rides possible, will she have spent the entire $50? If she has not spent the entire $50, how much money is left over? Support your answer with an explanation and/or calculations.

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = number of rides

total amount of money spent has to be less than  or equal to 50

costs are admission and food and rides

rides cost 1.50 each

50≥ admission + food + rides

50 ≥ 15 +10 + 1.50r

Combine like terms

50 ≥25 + 1.50 r

Subtract 25 from each side

50-25 ≥25-25 + 1.50 r

25  ≥ 1.50 r

Divide by 1.5 on each side

25/1.5 ≥ 1.5r/1.5

50/3  ≥ r

Changing this to a mixed number

16 2/3  ≥r

We can only take a whole number of rides

r = 16

Beverly has not spent all of her 50 dollars since there was a fraction for the rides

cost =  15 +10 + 1.50r

        15+10 + 1.5*16

            25+24

           49

She has 1 dollar left
