Answer 1

Answer:

Sidney played 5 games and rode 8 rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sydney is going to a carnival that has games and rides, and each game costs $ 1.25 and each ride costs $ 2.25. Sydney spent $ 24.25 altogether at the carnival and the number of rides she went on is 3 more than the number of games she played, to determine the number of games Sydney played and the number of rides Sydney went on the following calculation must be performed:

5 x 2.25 + 2 x 1.25 = 11.25 + 2.50 = 13.75

6 x 2.25 + 3 x 1.25 = 13.50 + 3.75 = 17.25

7 x 2.25 + 4 x 1.25 = 15.75 + 5 = 20.75

8 x 2.25 + 5 x 1.25 = 18 + 6.25 = 24.25

Therefore, Sidney played 5 games and rode 8 rides.
