Carla is going to the water slides and needs to figure out which deal is better. She can pay $31 to go on the water slides as much as she wants, or she can pay $13 to get in, plus an
additional $3 per trip down the water slides. If Carla goes on a certain number of trips down
the water slides, the two options are equivalent in terms of cost. How many trips is that?
What is the cost?

if she rides the slides 6 times, the costs will be the same: $31

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write an equation in order to solve this problem. Since you are trying to find how many trips using the (3t + 13) plan are equal to the plan that costs 31, the equation would be:

31 = 3t + 13

= 18 = 3t

= 6 = t

(3t + 13 stands for $3 a trip plus $13 entry fee)

This means that if Carla takes 6 trips using either plan, they will cost the same; both would cost $31.
