Question

Evan is going to the 50th state fair this weekend. It costs $10 to enterand each ride is $2. How much will it cost Evan to go to the fair and ride 5rides? **Don't forget the initial cost.**( hint: determine the equation first y =X + and then plug in 5 for x) *

Answer 1

From the question, we are given the following;

Cost of entering the state fair = $10

Amount of each ride = $2

For us to determine the amount it will cost Evan to go to the fair and ride 5 rides, the equation y = $10 + 2x will be used where;

x is the total ride taken = 5 rides

y is the amount it cost evan to enter the state fair and ride 5 rides

Substitute x = 5 into the equation and get y;

y = $10 + 2x

y = $10 + $2(5)

y = $10 + $10

y = $20

Hence it will cost Evans $20 to go to the fair and ride 5 rides
