Question

Lionel is planning a one-day outing.

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of rides

y: total cost

We now write the equations for each park.

For The Thrill amusement park:

y = 5x + 40

For The Splash water park:

y = 3x + 60

Answer:

A system of equations that could be used to determine the solution where the cost per ride of the two amusement parks, and, is the same is:

y = 5x + 40

y = 3x + 60
