Question

Paul wanted to bring his family to the Children’s Museum. There was an exhibit with carnival rides. The tickets for each ride were $1.35 per ticket. Paul purchased 30 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $46.85 at the museum. Paul spent his money only on ride tickets and admission. The price of the museum admission is the same for everyone. (a) Define your variables. (b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for tickets and museum admission. Use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets. (c) Explain your answer to Part 1b.
Do NOT say you don't know, include files, or anything else. I need real answers not people faking answers to get points.

Answer 1

We want to define and solve a linear equation to model the given case.

The answers are:

a) x = number of tickets, y = total cost.

b) y = $1.35*x + $6.35

We know that:

The tickets for each ride were $1.35 per ticket.

Paul purchased 30 tickets

He spent a total of $46.85 (on tickets and admission)

The cost for the 30 tickets is:

30*$1.35 = $40.50

a) Now we can define two variables:

y = total cost

x = number of tickets

b) the linear equation would be:

y = $1.35*x + P

Where P is the price of admission.

And we know that the total cost for 30 tickets is $46.85, then we have:

$46.85 = $40.50 + P

$46.85 - $40.50 = P = $6.35

So the admission price is $6.35

This means that the linear equation is:

y = $1.35*x + $6.35

c) Brief explanation, we have the variable y that represents the total cost, it is equal to the admission price (which we found) plus $1.35 times the number of tickets bought (x).
