Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost per ticket = $3.25
Number of ride tickets purchased (x) = 8
Total amount spent at the fair (y) = $39.50
Henry's spending was only on ticket rides and fair admission
a) Find the cost of admission to the fair. Explain how you found the cost of admission.
Total spending = amount spent on ticket rides + cost of admission to fair
$39.50 = 8(3.25) + cost of admission
39.50 = 26 + cost of admission
Cost of admission = (39.50 - 26) = $13.50
(b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who pays for ride tickets and fair admission.
Since cost of admission is the same for everyone :
Total cost = 3.25x + 13.50
y = 3.25x + 13.50
(c) Explain what the coefficient on x and the constant of your linear equation represent.
3.25 = cost per ride ticket
13.50 = cost of admission to fair
