Kolby decided he wanted to go to the amusement park. The amusement park charges $8.00 for entry and $1.40 for each ride.
Part A Write an expression to represent this scenario where r represents the number of rides.
Part B Create and solve an equation to determine how many possible rides Deniss can ride if his parents gave him $26.00Show your work.

Answer:

He pays $8.00 regardless and $1.40 for each ride. When we see for each, we typically want to multiply.

A. $8.00 + $1.40 * r

If his parents gave him $26.00, then that is the most Kolby can spend.

$8 + $1.40 * r = $26

Subtracting 8 from both sides:

$1.40 * r = $18

Dividing both sides by 1.40:

r = 12.86

B. Since you can't ride part of a ride, Kolby can only ride 12 rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

An expression to represent this would be 1.40x+8.00= R

1.40x+8=26

       -8   -8

1.40x=18

/1.40    /1.40

x=11 total rides

If you had $26.00 you would first spend $8.00 on the entry leaving you with $18.00. Then you would divide the $18 by $1.40 for each ride to get 12.8... It doesn't make sense to go on a fraction of a ride so you just round down to 11 rides
