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: 177/8
