Jay went to an amusement park. the park charges an entrance fee of $10.50 and $4.50 for every ride. jay spent $46.50 on entrance fees and rides. which fuction can be used to find the number of rides he went on?

The function that can be used to find the number of rides is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of rides

y------> the total cost of entrance fees and rides

we know that

The linear equation that represent the total cost is equal to

Solve for x

For

Find the value of x

Substitute the value of y in the equation

Let total number of rides be represented by x

And total amount spent on the ride and entry fees be y

Entry fees of the park = $10.50

Also, Charge for each ride is given to be $4.50

So, The linear function which describes the situation :

y = 10.50 + 4.50x

Now, Its given that Jay spent a total of $46.50 in the park

So, to find total number of rides taken substitute y = 46.50 in the above linear equation.

⇒ 46.50 = 10.50 + 4.50x

⇒ 4.50x = 36

⇒ x ≈ 8

Thus, Number of rides taken = 8

answer: the answer is ann
