Question 1027259: To enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. Admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. How much does each ride ticket cost?

Hi there,
From the formula the entry fee was $10
and each ride would cost 50 cents.
So, for someone who wanted to have 10 rides
He/she would pay from the formula: f(x) = .50x + 10
f(10) = .50 x 10 + 10
f(10) = $15
Hope this helps :-)
