Question

Your friend has $90 when he goes to the fair. He spends $5 to enter the fair and $15 on food. Rides at the fair cost $1.50 per ride. Which function can be used to determine how much money he has left over after x rides? f(x) = 1.5x + 70 f(x) = −1.5x + 70 f(x) = −1.5x − 70 f(x) = −20x + $90

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.5x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money he takes while going to the fair = $90

Money he spends to enter the fair = $5

Money he spends on food =$15

Total he spent now is given by

Now, he spend on rides at the fair i.e. 1.50 per ride .

Let the number of rides be x

So, cost incurred on rides = 1.5x

So, the spending money can be expressed as

Now, remaining money left to him after spending on x rides too is

Let f(x) denotes the function used to determine the money he has left over after rides .

So it becomes

f(x) = 70 - 1.50x

f (x) = -1.50x +70
