Question

Chris wants to ride on the Colossal Coaster at the amusement park. Admission to the park

costs $6 and each ride on the roller coaster costs an additional $0.50. Chris wants to spend less
than $12.50 in all. Find the number of times that Chris can ride on the roller coaster.

12 times

Answer 2

He can ride it 4 times
