Answer:
22 rides
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the parks has a fixed cost (admission fee) and a variable cost (per ride cost). We can model 2 equations in "x" [let x be number of rides], equate them and find "x".
<u>Playland Park:</u>
Fixed Cost = 7
Variable Cost = 0.75x (in dollars)
Equation = 7 + 0.75x
<u>Funland Park:</u>
Fixed Cost = 12.50
Variable Cost = 0.50x (in dollars)
Equation = 12.50 + 0.50x
Now we equate and solve for x:
Hence,
the cost would be same for both parks for 22 rides
