To enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. Admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. How much does each ride ticket cost?

A) $10
B) $0.50 <my choice
C) $10.50
D) Not enough information.

$0.50

To find the cost of each ride ticket, we need to understand the equation given: f(x) = .50x + 10

Here, x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price.

We can see that the coefficient of x is 0.50, which means that for every ride ticket purchased, the price increases by $0.50.

Therefore, the cost of each ride ticket is $0.50.

So, the correct answer is B) $0.50.

To determine the cost of each ride ticket, we need to analyze the equation given: f(x) = 0.50x + 10.

In the equation, f(x) represents the total price, and x represents the number of tickets purchased.

According to the equation, the entrance fee component is represented by the constant term 10, while the cost of each ride ticket is represented by the coefficient of x, which is 0.50.

Therefore, the cost of each ride ticket is $0.50.

So, B) $0.50 is the correct answer.

I disagree.

If f(x) is the cost for x tickets, then each ticket costs

(.50x+10)/x = .50 + 10/x

and ... ?
