Step-by-step explanation:
The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the festival
0.75 per ticket. So cost of 18 tickets= 0.75 * 18 = $13.5
Kendall spent $13.50 for tickets . Total spent = $33.50
Total spent = ticket cost + admission cost
33.50 = 13.50 + admission
Admission cost = 33.50 - 13.50 = $20
(a) y to represent the total cost , x to represent the number of ride tickets.
'b' represents the admission cost
(b) General form of linear equation is y=mx+b
m = 0.75 and b = admission cost = 20
So equation becomes y = 0.75x + 20
(c) Initially, she has to pay the admission price $20. then 0.75 per ticket.
The value of x changes depends on the number of tickets she wants to buy.
y is the total cost she has to pay for x tickets with admission price
