Question

Luna had 50.00 when she got to the carnival. After riding 12 rides, she had 26.00 left. What was the price of each ride?

Answer 1

50-26 = 24


24 / 12 rides = 2 for each ride .

Answer 2

Answer: The price of each ride is $2.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total amount of money Luna had = $50

Number of rides she had done = 12

Amount of money left to her = $26

Let the price of each ride be 'x'.

According to question, it becomes,

`26+12x=50\\\\12x=50-26\\\\12x=24\\\\x=(24)/(12)\\\\x=2`

Hence, the price of each ride is $2.
