Question

30 points and brinliest answer! A group of friends go to a family fun park. The park has games and rides.

Arabella plays 6 games and rides 4 rides for $22.00.
Xavier plays 4 games and rides 8 rides for $32.00.
What is the cost, in dollars and cents, of playing 1 game, to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

The person above is correct.

Answer 2

It costs $1.50 or $1 and 50cents to play one game

Explanation:

let x represent cost of games and y represent cost of rides

6x+4y=$22——equation 1

4x+8y=$32——equation 2

Multiply equation 1by 2

2(6x+4y=$22)=12x+8y=$44

Subtract equation 2from 1 to eliminate y

12x-4x+8y-8y=$44-32

8x=$12

x=$12/8=$1.5

Plug in x=1.5 into equation 2

4($1.5)+8y=$32

8y=$32-$6

8y=$26

y=26/8=$3.25
