LINEAR EQUATION

Question

Sharlise bought a commuter pass, and after 6 rides to and from LMC, her commuter pass is worth 23.10. After 12 rides to and from LMC, her commuter pass is worth 13.20. Rosa pays $57.00 for unlimited rides monthly pass lasting for 31 days.

 

 

can the monthly cost of these students' bus fares be modeled by the same linear equation? Explain. 

Answer 1

6 rides (12 - 6) cost $9.90 (23.10 - 13.20)

Each ride costs $1.65

31 rides cost $51.15

 

c = 1.65r

 

She is better off paying per ride!
