Q:

1. The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at the fair. Jermaine spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission. 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) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission. (b) Define your variables.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:a). Linear equation; y=1.25 x+12.5b). The variable are x and y, where;y is the total cost at the county fairx is the number of tickets per rideStep-by-step explanation:Step 1: Define variable in the linear equationy=mx+cwhere;y=The total cost at the county fairx=the number of tickets per ridem=Cost per ticket ridec= fair admission priceStep 2: Derive linear equationIn or case;y=$43.75m=$1.25 per ticket ridex=25 ticketsc=unknownreplacing;43.75=(1.25Γ—25)+cc=43.75-31.25c=12.5The fair admission price=c=12.5Replacing in the Linear equation;y=1.25 x+12.5
