Question

The Wild West West Frontier Park now offers an unlimited day pass. For $29.00, visitors can go on as many rides as they want. The original plan charged visitors $8.75 to enter the park plus $2.25 for each ride.

1. Write an equation to determine the number of rides that would make the total cost equal for the two plans. Solve the equation.

Answer 1

$29-8.75

$20.25 / 2.25

9

Explanation:

Since you pay to enter from the $29 you should take away $8.75 .

That would leave you with $20.25 , so divide that by $2.25 because you would have to pay $2.25 for each ride , and you answer is nine rides.
