X = number of rides per month.

Without the pass, the cost per ride is 2.00 per ride.

With the pass, the cost per ride is 1.25 per ride plus 15.75 per month.

You want to know at what number of rides does the cost per ride using the pass become cheaper than the cost per ride without using the pass.

The formula for total cost is as follows:

without the pass:

C1 = 2*x

with the pass:

C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*x

You want to know when C2 becomes less than C1.

C2 < C1 is the inequality equation you are looking for.

Since C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*x, and C1 = 2*x, this equation becomes:

15.75 + 1.25*x < 2*x

Subtract 1.25*x from both sides of this equation to get:

15.75 < 2*x - 1.25*x which becomes:

15.75 < .75*x

Divide both sides of this equation by .75*x to get:

15.75/.75 < x

Simplify to get:

21 < x

21 < x is the same as x > 21.

Your answer is the C2 becomes cheaper than C1 when x > 21.

If you make x = 21, then:

C1 = 2*21 = 42
C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*21 = 15.75 + 26.25 = 42

They are equal.

If you make x = 22, then:

C1 = 2*22 = 44
C2 = 15.75 + 1.25*22 = 15.75 + 27.5 = 43.25

43.25 is cheaper than 44 so C2 is cheaper than C1, confirming that the equation is good.

Just off the bat 17$is 12 rides and then 17.25 +0.75 is 18 so 13 rides

Footlocker in the mall is having a 25% off sale on all tennis shoes. Joe paid $67.50 for his
marta [7]

Answer:

The original price of the shoes was $90.

Step-by-step explanation:

25% off means the price Joe paid for it is 75% of the original price.

Set up an equation:

75/100 = 67.50/x

Cross multiply

75 × x = 100 × 67.50

75x = 6750

x = 90

Check our work:

First solve for 25% off of 90 (our answer).

25% = 0.25

90 × 0.25 = 22.50

Next, subtract the discount from 90.

90 - 22.50 = 67.50

67.50 was what Joe paid so this is correct.

Two angles are supplementary if the sum of their measures is 180. If one angle’s measure is 45 more than 3 times the other angle
faust18 [17]

Assuming the two angles are supplementary, the angle measuring x is equal to 33.75, and the angle measuring 3x+45 is equal to 146.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+(3x+45)=4x+45=180

4x+45=180

-45 -45

4x=135

÷3 ÷3

x=33.75

3x+45=146.25
