At the Arcade Parade, bumper cars cost $12 for a half hour. How much does 25 minutes cost?
I was at the Copperas cove rabbit Fest and i never seen the bumper cars
To determine the cost of 25 minutes, we can use proportional reasoning.
First, let's determine the cost per minute. We know that bumper cars cost $12 for a half hour, or 30 minutes. So, the cost per minute can be calculated by dividing the total cost by the total number of minutes:
Cost per minute = Total cost / Total minutes
Cost per minute = $12 / 30 minutes
Now, we can use the calculated cost per minute to determine the cost of 25 minutes:
Cost of 25 minutes = Cost per minute * Number of minutes
Cost of 25 minutes = Cost per minute * 25 minutes
Plugging in the value of the cost per minute, we can find the answer:
Cost of 25 minutes = ($12 / 30 minutes) * 25 minutes
12/30 = x/25
Solve for x.
