You and your three friends are going to the state fair it cost five dollars per person for a mission and to the fair and three dollars for each ride which algebraic expression represents the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides
Let's assume the number of rides is represented by the variable X.
The cost for each person to get into the fair is $5, and since there are four of you (including yourself), the total cost for everyone to get into the fair is 4 * $5 = $20.
For each ride, the cost is $3, so the total cost for X rides would be X * $3 = $3X.
Therefore, the algebraic expression that represents the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides is:
Total Cost = $20 + $3X
Let's break down the cost into two parts: the entrance fee and the cost for rides.
1. Entrance fee: Since it costs $5 per person to enter the fair, the total entrance fee for you and your three friends will be $5 x 4 (for four people) = $20.
2. Cost for rides: Since it costs $3 for each ride, let's represent the number of rides as "X". The total cost for the rides will be $3 x X.
To find the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides, we add the entrance fee to the cost for rides:
Total cost = Entrance fee + Cost for rides
Total cost = $20 + ($3 x X)
Therefore, the algebraic expression that represents the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides is $20 + ($3 x X).
To calculate the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides, we need to consider the cost per mission, the number of people, and the cost per ride.
The cost per mission is $5, and since there are four people (you and your three friends), we can say that the total cost for getting into the fair is 4 * $5 = $20.
For each ride, the cost is $3. So, for X number of rides, the total cost for rides will be X * $3 = $3X.
Adding the cost of getting into the fair ($20) to the cost of the rides ($3X), the algebraic expression representing the total amount of money it will cost is:
Total cost = $20 + $3X
