Question

Ayden and his friend Sophie are going to a carnival that has games and rides. Ayden played 5 games and went on 7 rides and spent a total of $29.50. Sophie played 9 games and went on 2 rides and spent a total of $16. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the cost of each game and the cost of each ride. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

5x+7y=29.50 and 9x+2y=16 can be used to determine the cost of each game and each ride.

Variable x is the cost of one game and variable y is the cost of one ride.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of one game = x

Cost of one ride = y

Ayden played 5 games and went on 7 rides and spent a total of $29.50.

5x+7y=29.50    Eqn 1

Sophie played 9 games and went on 2 rides and spent a total of $16.

9x+2y=16     Eqn 2

5x+7y=29.50 and 9x+2y=16 can be used to determine the cost of each game and each ride.

Variable x is the cost of one game and variable y is the cost of one ride.
