Question

The entry fee to a park is $20. Each ride cost $2.50. Jackson spent a total of $35 at the park. How many rides did jackson go on?

Answer 1

6 rides

Explanation:

35-$20(entry fee)=$15(amount spent on rides)

15/$2.50(cost of each ride)=6 rides

Answer 2

Jackson went on 6 rides.

Explanation:

35 - 20, because $20 was originally paid, and we don't need to do anything more with that.

That gives us $15.

$15 divided by $2.50 = 6

Hope this helps!
