Question

Number of rides marine can go on ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Check step by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let x represent the amount of rides she takes, the 6 and 2.5 represent the amount of money required to enter

A(x) = 1.5x + 6

B(x) = 2x + 2.5

b) You can find this by making the 2 equations equal to each other and solving for x

1.5x + 6 = 2x + 2.5

3.5 = .5x

7 = x

7 rides make them equal cost

c) Plug in 5 for each of the equations and find out which one is cheaper

A(5) = 1.5 * 5 + 6

A(5) = $13.50

B(5) = 2 * 5 + 2.5

B(5) = $12.50

Carnival B is cheaper
