Question

The admission fee to a state fair is $8.00. Each ride costs an additional $4.00. Karen only has $30.00. Which inequality could be used to determine the number of rides, x, Karen can go on?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 + 4x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the admission fee to a state fair is $8.00 and each ride costs an additional $4.00. This can be represented in an equation as:

= 8 + 4x

where x = number of rides

Since Karen only has $30.00, the inequality that could be used to determine the number of rides, x, Karen can go on will be:

8 + 4x = 30

We can further solve the equation which will be:

8 + 4x = 30

4x = 30 - 8

4x = 22

x = 22/4

x = 5.5
