1) A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big waterslides. Steven spent $17 on his
visit to the water park. Which equation can be used to find the number of big waterslides, x, that Steven went on? a.5 + 2x = 17
b.5x + 2 = 17
c. 5x + 2x = 17
d.5 + 2 = 17x
2) The $5 amount is fixed, so there must be a 5 by itslef in the equation.
The amount he paid per waterslide was $2.
He paid for
1 waterslide, 2 * 1
2 waterslides, 2 * 2
3 waterslides, 2 * 3
x waterslides, 2 * x = 2x
Now you need to add the fixed cost of 5 to the cost for x waterslides of 2x and make it equal to what he spent, $17.
1.) The answer is A. 5+2x = 17. The x in the equation signifies the number of times Steven went to the big slides. The 5 represents the fixed cost of the slide. The total expenditure in the water park is 17 dollars, and the 2 represents the cost of using 1 big slide.
Step-by-step explanation: As they are interested in the amount of time a client exercises in a week, the population would be all the clients that use the fitness center for a given week.
Clients that do not go on this week are not part of the population. The amount of time is what they want to know, so it cannot be the population.
