Question

The Mardi Gras festival is coming to town. Admission to the festival cost $25 and each game cost a dollar you have $40 to spend at the Mardi Gras festival including admission.

part a write an inequality that represents this situation.

Part B solve the inequality to determine the maximum number of games you can enjoy at the Mardi Gras festival ?

Answer 1

Your equation will be the festival cost (25) plus the cost for each ride times the number of rides (1r) is less than or equal to the total cost (40). So, 25 + 1r <= 40.

You solve it just like it was a regular equation, just using less than or equal instead of equal.

25 + r = 40

Subtract 25 from both sides: r = 15. You can ride 15 rides.
