Answer:

$22.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of friends = 3

Admission cost per person = $8.25

So, total admission cost for 3 persons =[tex]3 \times 8.25[/tex]

=[tex]24.75[/tex]

Each friend takes 8 rides

So, total rides taken by 3 friends = [tex]8 \times 3 =24[/tex]

Cost of 1 ride = $1.50

So, Cost of 24 rides = [tex]24 \times 1.50 =36[/tex]

So, total cost for group of 3 friends in which each friend takes 8 rides = 24.75+36 =$ 60.75

If Each friend takes 3 rides

So, total rides taken by 3 friends = [tex]3 \times 3 =9[/tex]

Cost of 1 ride = $1.50

So, Cost of 9 rides = [tex]9 \times 1.50 =13.5[/tex]

So, total cost for group of 3 friends in which each friend takes 3 rides = 24.75+13.5 =$ 38.25

Difference in both the costs = $60.75 -$38.25=$22.50

Hence it will cost $22.50 more than a group of 3 friends to ride 8 rides each than to ride 3 rides each.

So, Option B $22.50 is correct.
