Question

The cost of admission to enter the park is $30 and the rides are an additional $6 each. If your parents give you $100 to spend at the amusement park what is the maximum number of rides you can go on?

Answer 1

Answer: 11 rides

Explanation:

• First, take away the admission fee from the total amount of money you have

$100 - $30 = $70

• So, now you have $70. But since each ride costs $6, you have to divide $70 by $6 to find out how many 6s can go into 70.

$70 ÷ $6 = 11.666666

• Since you can't go on a ride 0.6666666666 times, you can discard this.

• As a result, the answer is 11 rides.

Hope this helps!
