2.36 is the answer because if you subtract 24.75 from 53.07 and then divide your answer by 12 is how you get your answer
If this were to be graphed, the independent variable would be the price of the ticket for the rides. The dependent variable would be the total cost.
The fair admission is not a variable because it is a constant price for every single person who goes into the fair.
The problem asks to use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. In order to fully write out the equation, we have to figure out what the fair admission costs.
43.75 = 1.25(25) + b
*b represents the fair admission
Multiply 1.25 by 25
43.75 = 31.25 + b
Subtract 31.25 to find what b costs.
12.50 = b
The fair admission costs $12.50.
Solution: y = 1.25x + 12.50
Answer: 5/6 > 29/36
<u>Find Common Denominator</u>
6: 6,12,18,24,30,36
36: 36,72,106
CD=36
<u>Multiply both sides by 6</u>
5/6×6/6=30/36
<u>Compare</u>
30/36 > 29/36
<u>Therefore</u>
5/6 > 29/36
