Andrew and Ryan spend a total of $44 at a state fair. There is an entrance fee of x dollars per person, and each ride costs $3.5
0. If they went on the same number of rides, which equation correctly represents this relationship, where n is the number of rides? Choose all that apply. A. x + 7n = 44
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation that represents the situation:
So, the total money spent by the 2 friends is $44. That cost is equal to the price of the entrance fee (x) multiplied by 2 (since they are 2), plus the cost of each ride (3.50) multiplied by the number of rides (n) and also by 2 (since they are 2)
Mathematically speaking:
2(x + 3.5n) = 44
So, the correct options are
C. 2(x + 3.5n) = 44
E. 2x + 7n = 44 (is equivalent, obtained if we apply distributive property to option C.)
