Question

Brayden is going to an amusement park. The price of admission into the park is $35,
and once he is inside the park, he will have to pay $2 for every ride he rides on. How
much money would Brayden have to pay in total if he goes on 15 rides? How much
would he have to pay if he goes on r rides?

Answer 1

2x15= 30
35+30=65
He would pay 65 if he rode 15 rides

Answer 2

Answer: $65; $35+r•2

Step-by-step explanation:

So if every ride Brayden goes on costs $2 and he rides 15 rides, 2•15= $30 from rides alone. Then you add the $35 from admission to that number to get $65. This works for any amount of rides, just change the number to how many rides he goes on and use the same formula, 35+r•2 where r equals the number of rides ridden.
