Answer 2

Answer:

Wyatt played 3 games and went on 6 Rides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let games be represented as x

Let ride be represented as y

Each game cost $1.25

Each ride cost $2.75

Total money spent by Wyatt= $20.25

x1.25 + y2.75 = 20.25 ..... Equation 1

the number of rides he went on is twice the number of games he played

Y= 2x ... Equation 2

Substituting the value of y into equation 1

x1.25 + y2.75 = 20.25

x1.25 + 2(x)2.75 = 20.25

x1.25 + x5.5 = 20.25

x6.75= 20.25

x= 20.25/6.75

X= 3

Y= 2x

Y= 2(3)

Y= 6

Wyatt played 3 games and went on 6 Rides
