Connor wants to attend the town carnival. The price of admission to
the carnival is $4.50, and each ride costs an additional 79 cents.
If he can spend at most $16.00 at the carnival, which inequality can
be used to solve for r, the number of rides Connor can go on, and
what is the maximum number of rides he can go on?
(1) 0.79 + 4.50r ≤ 16.00; 3 rides
(2) 0.79 + 4.50r ≤ 16.00; 4 rides
(3) 4.50 + 0.79r ≤ 16.00; 14 rides
(4) 4.50 + 0.79r ≤ 16.00; 15 rides

Respuesta :

 14 rides because 16.00-4.50=11.50  11.50 divided by .79=14... so #3 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER

Answer:

The answer is 3 which is 4.50 + 0.79r ≤ 16.00; 14 rides

Step-by-step explanation:

The entrance fee of the carnival is 4.50$. That amount need to be paid only once. Each ride will cost 79 cents. The total amount of cost comes from ride will be calculated by multiplication of 79 cent and r number. Therefore equation will be:

[tex]4.50+0.79*r\leq 16.00[/tex]

And the maximum rides he can go on will be:

[tex]4.50+0.79*r\leq 16.00\\0.79*r\leq 11.5\\r\leq 14.55[/tex]

r can be 14 at maximum.
