Alex is going to the carnival with his friends. his mom gave him $45 to spend, if admission to the fair was
$7, and each ride costs $1.50, write an inequality to show how many rides he can ride. what is the
maximum number of rides he can go on?
solution set:
max # of rides:

Maximum number of rides Alex can go is 23

Solution:

Given that Alex mom gave him $ 45 to spend

Admission to the fair was  $ 7, and each ride costs $1.50

From given question,

The amount of money spent on admission to the fair and on a number of rides which each cost $ 1.50, must be at most $ 45

"At most $ 45" means $ 45 exactly or less

Let "x" be the number of rides Alex takes up

This is the required inequality

To find the maximum number of possible rides, solve for  x

Thus maximum number of rides he can go is 23
