Ron plans on visiting an amusement park this weekend. Admission to the park costs $13.00, and each attraction costs $2.96 to use. If Ron has saved $62.00 for this weekend, what is the highest number of attractions he can visit at the park?

16 attractions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of attractions that he can visit at the park.

Ron plans on visiting an amusement park this weekend. Admission to the park costs $13.00, and each attraction costs $2.96 to use. This means that the expression for the total cost of visiting x attractions is

2.96x + 13

If Ron has saved $62.00 for this weekend, then

2.96x + 13 = 62

2.96x = 62 - 13

2.96x = 49

x = 49/2.96

x = 16.55

Since the number cannot be a fraction, the highest number of attractions he can visit at the park is 16

answer:      

step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0
