Question

Connor wants to attend the town carnival. The price of admission to the
carnival is $4.50, and each ride costs an additional 79 cents. If he can spend
at most $16.00 at the carnival, write an inequality that can be used to solve
for r, the number of rides Connor can go on.

What is the maximum number of rides he can go on?

Answer 1

Answer:

14 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 0.79x + 4.5

11.5 = 0.79x

x = 14.55 or 14

rounding down because it can't go over $16.

0.79(14) + 4.5 = $15.56
