Suppose you went to a carnival. The price to get in was $7, and you paid $0.50 to get on each ride. If you went to the carnival and rode 11 rides, how much did you spend?
Responses
$12.50
$5.50
$14
$11.50
If you paid $7 to get in and $0.50 for each ride, the total amount spent on rides would be 11 rides x $0.50/ride = $<<11*0.50=5.50>>5.50.
Adding the entrance fee, the total amount spent would be $7 + $5.50 = $<<7+5.50=12.50>>12.50.
Therefore, you spent $12.50.
