Zack plans to attend the Carroll County Fair and is trying to decide what would be a better deal. He can pay $40 for unlimited rides, or he can pay $15 for admission plus $1 per ride. If Zack goes on a certain number of rides, the two options wind up costing him the same amount. How many rides is that?

Relax

Respuesta :

Let

x -----> number of rides

y ----> the total cost

so

The linear equation that represents both situations are

y=40 -----> equation A

y=x+15 ----> equation B

equate both equations

40=x+15

solve for x

x=40-15

x=25

therefore

the number of rides is 25
