Question

Last week, Kip went to the fair. It costs $4.95 to enter the fair and $0.50 per ticket. In the equation below, x represents the number of tickets Kip bought, and y represents the total amount Kip spent.
y = $0.50x + $4.95

If Kip spent $12.45 at the fair, how many tickets did he buy?

Group of answer choices

8

15

25

35

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

$12.45=4.95+0.5\timesx$×x

Solve the equation

$12.45=4.95+0.5x$

Rearrange variables to the left side of the equation

$-0.5x=4.95-12.45$

Calculate the sum or difference

$-0.5x=-7.5$

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

$x=\frac{-7.5}{-0.5}$

Determine the sign for multiplication or division

$x=\frac{7.5}{0.5}$

Multiply both the numerator and denominator with the same integer

$x=\frac{75}{5}$

Cross out the common factor

$x=15$
