The admission fee at an amusement park is $12, and each ride costs $3.50. The park also offers an all-day pass with unlimited rides for $33. For what numbers of rides is it cheaper to buy the all-day pass?
Solve using system of equations. y=total money spent, x=amount of rides y=12+3.5x y=33 Solve! Set them equal to each other 12+3.5x=33 -12 -12 3.5x=21 x=6 After six rides the all day pass would be cheaper. ;)
