Q:

Earl paid $37.95 for admission to the amusement park. Each ride costs and additional $4.25. Earl only has $75. What is the maximum number of rides he can go on?

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:8Step-by-step explanation:1. Determine how much Earl has to spend on rides. Subtract the admission (37.95) from his starting number (75)        75.00-37.95 = 36.052. Divide 36.05 by the cost per ride (4.25)     36.05/4.25 = 8.48Since Earl cannot ride part of a ride (.48) he can only ride 8 rides.
