Tia's parents gave her $20 to spend at the Spring Carnival. She spent $5 on a funnel cake and the remaining money on tickets for rides. If each ride ticket costs $0.75, how many ride tickets did she purchase?
20 - 5 - 0.75x = 0.
20-5-0.75x = 0.
0.75x = 15.
X = 20 Tickets.
To find out how many ride tickets Tia purchased, we need to calculate how much money she spent on the tickets. Tia started with $20 and spent $5 on a funnel cake. Therefore, the amount of money spent on ride tickets is $20 - $5 = $15.
Since each ride ticket costs $0.75, we can divide the total amount she spent on tickets by the cost of each ticket: $15 ÷ $0.75 = 20.
Therefore, Tia purchased 20 ride tickets at the Spring Carnival.
