Part A: 42.50+0.65x<60

Part B: You can enjoy maximum 26 rides at the fairy tale spectacular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Admission cost to fair = $42.50

Cost of each ride = $0.65

Amount you can spend = $60

Let,

x be the number of rides you can take.

Admission fair + Cost of each ride*number of rides < Amount you can spend

Part A: write an inequality that represents this situation.

42.50+0.65x<60

Part B: solve the inequality to determine the maximum number of rides you can enjoy at the fairy tale spectacular.

$42.50+0.65x$

Dividing both sides by 0.65

$\frac{0.65x}{0.65}$

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

x<27

Less than 27 means, you cannot take 27 rides, therefore,

You can enjoy maximum 26 rides at the fairy tale spectacular.
