Question

Chester has less than $25 to spend at the county fair. The entrance fee is $5, and each ride costs $3. The number of rides, r, that Chester can go on is represented by the inequality 3r + 5 < 25. Select the most amount of rides Chester can go on without overspending.

A:4
B:6
C:9
D:10

Answer 1

6 is the answer

Explanation:

be careful with this question. There is only 1 answer for this, they want to know the max number of ride he can go on.. So although 4 will work its not the MAX number of rides under 25.

Answer 2

To solve the inequality
3r+5 < 25
3r < 25-5
3r < 20
r < 6.66666...

Thus,the most amount is 6 and the answer is B
