An amusement park reduced the admission price to $15.50 per day, but now charges $1.50 per ride. Mark has $26 to spend on admission and rides. Write an algebraic equation to find how many rides Mark can ride in one day.

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount to spend = $26

Admission fee = $15.50

Charge per ride = $1.50

Number of rides Mike can take in a day:

Let number of rides can take In a day = x

[Admission fee + (charge per ride * number of rides)] less than equal to total amount

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ total amount

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ 26

1.50x ≤ 26 - 15.50

1.50x ≤ 10.50

Divide both sides by 1.50

x ≤ 10.50 / 1.50

x ≤ 7

Hence, number of rides per day = 7

15

step-by-step explanation:

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
