Question

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. How many rides did Penelope get to ride if she spends $35 in all.

Answer 1

Penelope get to ride 30 rides if she spends $35 in all

Explanation:

r= ride

20 +0.50r =35

sibtract 20 on each side

0.50r = 15

divide esach side by 0.50

r= 30

Answer 2

$20 is the base cost (y intercept)
$0.50 is the cost per ride (slope)
Plug into an equation
Y = 20 + 0.50x
35 = 20 + 0.50x
15 = 0.5x, x = 30

Solution: 30 rides
