1. the county fair charges $1.50 per ticket for the rides. jermaine bought 20 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $48.75 at the fair. jermaine spent his money only on ride tickets and fair admission. the price of the fair 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 that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission.

Our variable be z for fair admission and our required linear equation will be

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost per ticket for the rides =$1.50

Total amount she spent = $48.75

Let the total cost be y

Let the number of ride tickets be x

a) Define your variable:

Let the amount spent on fair admission be z

b) Write a linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for ride tickets and fair admission:

Our required equation will be

Here, number of ride tickets = 20

So,

So, the cost for fair admission = $18.75

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
