Question

Zippy Zoo charges an $18 entrance

fee and $2.50 for each animal
exhibit. Happy Zoo charges a $7
entrance fee and $5.25 for each
exhibit. How many exhibits would
make the two zoos the came cost?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

x is defined as in how many exhibits you go to

For Zippy Zoo: 18+2.5x

For Happy Zoo: 7+5.25x

We want zippy zoo=happy zoo so 18+2.5x=7+5.25x

this is now a 1 variable linear equation that we can solve

18+2.5x=7+5.25x

11=2.75x

x=11/2.75

x=4

Hope this helps!
