Question:
Using the equation y = $0.50x + $5.00, where y is the money made and x is the number of ride tickets purchased, analyze each scenario:
a. If $37 were spent, how many ride tickets were purchased?
b. If a person bought 12 ride tickets, how much did they spend?
There have been two proposals for the ticket sales.
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1:
a). 30 = 0.50x + 5 ==> x = 50
There was 50 tickets purchased
b). y = 3/2 times 12 + 5 ==> y = $23
There was $23 spent
