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.
