The fall festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the festival. she only spent her money on ride tickets and admission into the festival. the price of admission is the same for everyone. 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 to calculate the cost for anyone who only pays for festival admission and rides (c) explain your answer to part b.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the festival

0.75 per ticket. So cost of 18 tickets= 0.75 * 18 = $13.5

Kendall spent $13.50 for tickets . Total spent = $33.50

Total spent = ticket cost + admission cost

33.50 = 13.50 + admission

Admission cost = 33.50 - 13.50 = $20

(a)  y to represent the total cost , x to represent the number of ride tickets.

'b' represents the admission cost

(b)  General form of linear equation is y=mx+b

m = 0.75 and b = admission cost = 20

So equation becomes y = 0.75x + 20

(c) Initially, she has to pay the admission price $20. then 0.75 per ticket.

The value of x changes depends on the number of tickets she wants to buy.

y is the total cost she has to pay for x tickets with admission price
