Answer:
-52, and the opposite of this is 52.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).
The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.
A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
16 rides
Step-by-step explanation:
Option 1 . Admission fee = $10
Each ride = $0.50
Option 2 . Admission fee = $6
Each ride = $0.75
Let no. of rides be x
So, cost of ride according to option 1 = 0.50x
So, total cost after having x rides according to option 1 :
= 10+0.50x ---1
Cost of ride according to option 2 = 0.75x
So, total cost after having x rides according to option 2 :
= 6+0.75x --2
Now to find the beak even point i.e. having the same cost
Equate 1 and 2
Thus for 16 rides , the two options have the same cost .
Hence the break even point is 16 rides
