Kyle is going to the County Fair with his friends. It
costs $8 to get into the fair and then $2 for each
ride ticket. If Kyle spent $28 total, how many ride
tickets did he buy?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

After spending $8, Kyle had $20 left to buy $2 ride tickets. He could buy ...

  $20/$2 = 10 . . . tickets

__

An equation for the total Kyle spent is ...

  total spent = (entry fee) + (ride cost) × (number of rides)

  28 = 8 + 2n . . . . fill in the known values

  20 = 2n . . . . . . . subtract 8

  10 = n . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Kyle bought 10 ride tickets.
