Answer:

$12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The price to get in was $8, and you paid $0.50 to get on each ride.

8 is the fixed price, 0.50 is the cost per ride

We use equation y=mx+b

Where m is the slope, x be the number of rides

y represents the amount spend and b is the fixed price

So equation becomes y = 0.50x + 8

you went to the carnival and rode 9 rides

Plug in 9 for x  and find out y the amount spend

y = 0.50(9) + 8

y= 4.50 + 8= 12.50

you spend $12.50


Amount spend in carnival is $12.5

Given that;

Cost of enter in carnival = $8

Cost of each ride = $0.5

Number of ride = 9 rides

Find:

Amount spend in carnival

Computation:

Amount spend in carnival = Cost of enter in carnival + [(Cost of each ride)(Number of ride)]

Amount spend in carnival = 8 + (0.5)(9)

Amount spend in carnival = 8 + 4.5

Amount spend in carnival = $12.5

So, option "C" is the correct answer to the following question.
