Michael has $50 to spend at the fair .the admission is $10 and each ride is $3.00 ,write an inequality that expresses the number of rides that Michael can ride
number of rides --- r
3r + 10 ≤ 50
To write an inequality that expresses the number of rides Michael can ride, you need to consider both the admission fee and the cost per ride. Let's assume that Michael can ride "x" times at $3.00 per ride.
The admission fee is $10, and each ride costs $3.00. If Michael spends $10 on the admission fee, he will have $50 - $10 = $40 left to spend on rides.
Since each ride costs $3.00, the total amount Michael spends on rides will be 3x. Since he can only spend a maximum of $40 on rides, we can set up an inequality:
3x ≤ 40
This inequality expresses that the total cost of the rides (3x) should be less than or equal to $40, which is the remaining amount Michael has to spend at the fair.
