Question

Kolby decided he wanted to go to the amusement park. The amusement park charges $8.00 for entry and $1.40 for each ride.

Part A

Write an expression to represent this scenario where ​r r​ epresents the number of rides.

Part B

Write and solve an equation to determine how many rides Kolby can ride if his parents gave him $26.00. Show your work.

Answer 1

He pays $8.00 regardless and $1.40 for each ride. When we see for each, we typically want to multiply.

A. $8.00 + $1.40 * r

If his parents gave him $26.00, then that is the most Kolby can spend.

1. $8 + $1.40 * r = $26

Subtracting 8 from both sides:

1. $1.40 * r = $18

Dividing both sides by 1.40:

1. r = 12.86

B. Since you can't ride part of a ride, Kolby can only ride 12 rides.
