fees and rides. which fuction can be used to find the number of rides he went on? f (x) = 4.5 x + 10.5 f (x) = 4.5 x f (x) = 4.5 x minus 10.5 f (x) = negative 4.5 x

The function that can be used to find the number of rides Jay went on is, f(x) = 4.5x + 10 = 46.5. Hence, the first option is the right choice.

Also, on solving the function we get that, Jay went on 8 rides.

We assume the number of rides Jay spent to be x.

The cost of each ride is given to be $4.50.

Thus, the total amount Jay spent on rides = $4.50x.

The entrance fee to the park is given to be $10.50.

Thus, the total expenditure of Jay can be shown as $(4.5x + 10.5).

But, in the question we are given that Jay spend $46.50 altogether.

Thus, the function to find the number of rides Jay went on can be shown as:

f(x) = 4.5x + 10 = 46.5.

Hence, the first option is the right choice.

To find the number of rides he went, we can solve this function as:

4.5x + 10 = 46.5,

or, 4.5x = 46.5 - 10.5 = 36,

or, x = 36/4.5 = 8.

Thus, Jay went on 8 rides.
