A bus pass has a starting value of $100. After one ride, the value of the pass is $98.25. After two rides, its value is $96.50. After three rides, its value is $94.75. 1. Write a rule to represent the remaining value on the card as an arithmetic sequence.

2. What is the value of the pass after 15 rides?

3. How many rides can be taken with the $100 pass? (hint: set up an equation y=mx+b using the cost per ride as your NEGATIVE “m” value because your value goes down each time you ride and $100 as your starting “b” value. We’re solving for x when the total is 0. So, 0 = -___x + 100, fill in the blank with the cost per ride and solve for x.)
