1. The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at the fair. Jermaine spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission. The price of the fair admission is the same for everyone. Use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets.
(a) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission.
(b) Define your variables.

Answer:

a). Linear equation; y=1.25 x+12.5

b). The variable are x and y, where;

y is the total cost at the county fair

x is the number of tickets per ride

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define variable in the linear equation

y=mx+c

where;

y=The total cost at the county fair

x=the number of tickets per ride

m=Cost per ticket ride

c= fair admission price

Step 2: Derive linear equation

In or case;

y=$43.75

m=$1.25 per ticket ride

x=25 tickets

c=unknown

replacing;

43.75=(1.25×25)+c

c=43.75-31.25

c=12.5

The fair admission price=c=12.5

Replacing in the Linear equation;

y=1.25 x+12.5
