john is going to a fair. Admission into the fair is $2 and each ride is $1

To calculate the total cost for John's visit to the fair, we need to consider two factors: the admission fee and the cost of the rides.

Admission Fee:
The admission fee is given as $2.

Cost of the Rides:
To find the cost of the rides, we need to determine how many rides John wants to go on. Let's say he wants to go on "n" rides.

The cost of each ride is given as $1, so the total cost of n rides would be n * $1.

Adding both the admission fee and cost of the rides, we can calculate the total cost as:

Total Cost = Admission Fee + (Cost of Rides)
Total Cost = $2 + (n * $1)

We can't calculate the exact total cost as the number of rides, "n," is not specified.
