Question

10. There is a carnival at a local state park. It cost $5 to get in and $1.50 per ride. .Suppose Maya Mapleton has $25 to spend for the day. Which inequality wouldmodel this situation?5+ 1.50x 2 255x + 1.50 s 255 + 1.50x s 2525x + 1.50 s 5

Answer 1

Let:

B = Maya's budget = $25

c = cost of the entrance = $5

a = cost of each ride = $1.50

x = number of rides

T = total money spent

Therefore:

$\begin{gathered} T\le B \\ where_{} \\ T=c+ax \\ so\colon \\ 5+1.5x\le25 \end{gathered}$
