Aqua Town charges $6.00 admission plus $1.00 for each ride. The cost at Wet World is $3.00 admission plus $2.00 per ride. a) Let x represent the number of rides. Write an equation for each park to show the relationship between the total cost (y) and the number of rides (x).

Aqua Town's equation:

Wet World's expression:

b) Write an equation showing when the costs for both parks are equal. Solve the equation. (Use EQUAL VALUE METHODS)

c) Ileeda wants to go to a water park but she is certain she will only go on one ride. Which park should she go to? Why? Explain completely.

d) Leeoco will go to a water park but he knows he definitely ride at least five rids. Which park should he go to? Why? Explain completely

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
