Admission to the fair costs $6.00. Each ride costs you$0.50. You have $22.00 to spend at the fair on rides and admission. Express the number of tickets you can buy as an inequality.

Respuesta :

Let:

x = Number of rides

Total money spent = $6.00 + $0.50x

Since you have $22.00 to spend at the fair on rides and admission:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6+0.5x\leq22 \\ \text{solving for x:} \\ 0.5x\leq22-6 \\ 0.5x\leq16 \\ x\leq\frac{16}{0.5} \\ x=32 \end{gathered}[/tex]
