I AM PAYING 50 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST FOR THE ANSWER AND EXPLANATION FOR THIS QUESTION!!!
The county fair charges $1.25 per tickets for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at the fair. The price of the fair admission is the same for everyone. Use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets.
(a) Define your variables
(b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only ride tickets and fair admission.
(c) Explain your answer to Part B.

Respuesta :

(a) the variables are the prices of the the tickets for the rides, and the total cost.

(b) y = 1.25x + 12.50

(c) 43.75 (total spent) =  1.25(cost per ticket)(25)(total spent) + b  (fair admission)

1.25 times 25 = 31.25

43.75 - 31.25 = b (12.50)

y = 1.25x + 12.50
