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 pays for ride tickets and fair admission.(c) Explain your answer to Part b.

Accepted Solution

A:
A.)y=1.25x+12.5B.)ridecost+admission=totalif x=number of tickets and y is total and cost per ride is 1.25,1.25x+admission=ywhen we solvewhen x=25, y=43.75Hope This Helps!!!-Austint1414
