Answer 1

Let the number of ride tickets = x tickets.

And the total cost is given by y.

Fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides.

Johnny bought = 25 tickets.

Therefore, cost of 25 tickets @ $1.25 per ticket = 25 × 1.25 = $31.25

Total amount spent at the fair = $43.75.

Fair admission charge = Total amount spent - Cost of 25 tickets = 43.75 - 31.25 =$12.50.

Therefore, total cost of the fair = Fix fair admission charge + total cost of x number of tickets @1.25 each.

y = 12.50 + 1.25x.

Therefore, y = 12.50 + 1.25x is the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for x ride tickets and $ 12.50 fair admission.
