Question 25327: At the carnival, tickets for the rides are $0.75 each, or you can buy an armband for $15 and ride unlimited for one night. At how many rides does the armband cost the same as buying individual tickets?
Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let number of rides be "x".
Armband cost will be 1500 cents.
Pay by ride will cost 75x cents.
EQUATION:
When are the two equal?
75x=1500
x= 20 (# of rides at $.75 that equals the $15 arm band)
Cheers,
