Question 5
For a recent year, children's admission to the Minnesota State Fair was
$13
. Ride tickets were
$1.37
each. The equation
=y+1.37x13
represented the cost,
y
, in the dollars to be admitted to the fair and to purchase
x
ride tickets.
(c) Use the equation to determine how much money a child needed for admission and to ride
10
rides.
The child will need
$
for the admission and to ride
10
rides
The equation states that the cost y for admission and x ride tickets can be calculated using the formula y = 1.37x + 13.
To find out how much money a child will need for admission and to ride 10 rides, we need to substitute x = 10 into the equation and solve for y.
y = 1.37(10) + 13
y = 13.7 + 13
y = 26.7
Therefore, a child will need $26.7 for admission and to ride 10 rides.
To determine how much money a child will need for admission and to ride 10 rides using the given equation, we need to substitute the values of y and x.
Substituting y = 13 and x = 10 into the equation:
Cost = y + 1.37x
Cost = 13 + 1.37(10)
Cost = 13 + 13.7
Adding the values:
Cost = 26.7
Therefore, the child will need $26.70 for the admission and to ride 10 rides.
To determine how much money a child needed for admission and to ride 10 rides, we need to substitute the values into the equation y = 13 + 1.37x.
In this equation, y represents the total cost in dollars, and x represents the number of ride tickets.
To find the total cost for admission and 10 rides, we substitute x = 10 into the equation:
y = 13 + 1.37(10)
y = 13 + 13.7
y = 26.7
Therefore, the child will need $26.7 for admission and to ride 10 rides.
