Question

Ryan invited 5 of his friends to the local fair and is paying $5 for everyone. The admission to enter is $5 per person. Ride tickets are 75 c (cent) per ticket. what is the maximum number of ride tickets he can purchase is he has $50? define the variable

Answer 1

50 = 5(5) + .75T

3T/4 = 50-25 = 25

T = 25(4/3) = 100/3 = 33 1/3 maximum tickets

Maximum possible number of tickets that could be purchased is 33 for 5 people

but if Ryan is going too, that makes 6 people

.75T = 50-5(6) = 50-30= 20

T = 20(4)/3 = 80/3 = 26 2/3

maximum number of tickets is 26, which will cost .75(26) = 3(26)/4 = 3(13/2) = 39/2 = $19.50

19.50+6(5) = 49.50 with 50 cents left over
