Answer:
Option 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let r be the number of rides Connor can go on.
The price of admission to the carnival is $4.50, and each ride costs an additional 79 cents.
Total cost of admission and r rids is
Connor can spend at most $16.00 at the carnival. So, total cost must be less than or equal to $16.00.
Subtract 4.50 from both sides.
Divide both sides by 0.79.
The maximum number of rides he can go on is 14. Therefore, the correct option is 3.

Answer:
$5225
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for the amount after simple interest:
"A" is the final amount, or balance.
"P" is the principal, or the starting amount.
"r" is the rate of interest in decimal form.
"t" is the time.
What we know:
P = 5000
t = 3
r = 1.5%
Convert the rate to decimal form by dividing by 100, or moving the decimal place two places to the left.
1.5% => 0.015 = r
Substitute what we know into the formula:
A = P(1 + rt)
A = 5000(1 + (0.015)(3)) <=simplify
A = 5000(1 + 0.045)
A = 5000(1.045)
A = 5225 <= new balance
The new balance of an account is $5225.
Our x equals 0 so the answer is 0
