Question

A carnival charges a $10 entrance fee and $2 per ride. Write an equation to represent this situation.

y = mx + b

Answer 1

y = 2x + 10

Explanation:

What we know:

10 dollar entrance fee

2 dollars PER ride

"per" is an important word since it tells us that the x will be there.

That means that, if its a 10 dollar entrance fee and 2 dollars per ride, it will be 2x + 10.

`y=2x+10`
