Question

At a carnival, single rides cost $2 each, and all day ride passes cost $15. The total revenue for the day was $2,960. Which equation can be used to represent x, the number of single ride passes sold and y, the number of all day ride passes sold?

Answer 1

$2x+$15y=$2960

Answer 2

2x + 15y = 2960

Explanation:

At a carnival, single ride cost $2 each. If the number of single ride passes sold are x.

Then total cost of single ride passes = 2x

Similarly all day ride passes cost is $15 and total number of passes sold are y.

So total cost of the all day ride passes sold = 15y

Now revenue for the day is $2960 which is equal to the total revenue from single ride passes sold + total revenue from all day passes.

And the equation representing this condition will be

2x + 15y = 2960
