Question

A subway ride for a student costs $1.25. A monthly pass costs $35.Write an inequality that represents the number of times, x , you must ride the subway for the monthly pass to be a better deal.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.25x>35

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of times you must ride the subway and the monthly pass is $35, we must determine the expression where the cost per ride is greater than $35. Therefore:

1.25x>35

We can solve x to determine the number of rides you must ride for the monthly pass to be a better deal.

x>35/1.25

x>28

The student must take more than 28 rides for the mothly pass to be a better deal.

Answer 2

35$ : 1,25$ = 28 Trips


From 29 Trips you have a better deal.
