The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides. Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 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) Using the information provided for Jermaine, what is the price of the fair admission? Show all steps
for full credit.

(b) Using the x and y as defined in the problem, write a linear equation that can be used to determine the
cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission.
Step 1: Identify the slope and y-intercept for the equation.
Step 2: Write the equation in slope-intercept form.

12.50 for admission

a) Price of admission is $12.50

b) linear equation: 1.25x + 12.5 = y

slope: 1.25

y-intercept: 12.5

The equation above is in slope-intercept form

Here's the work step by step :)

hope it helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.25 is the cost per ticket

Jermaine bought 25 tickets in total

Spent a total of $43.75

y = total cost

x = number of ride tickets

1.25 ( 25 ) = 31.25

31.25 is the total money spent on ONLY tickets.

To find the cost of admission...

43.75 - 31.25 = 12.50

The cost of admission is $12.50

Equation: 1.25x + 12.5 = y

(1.25 is the cost per ticket and 12.5 is the intial charge/admission fee and y is the total cost)

y = mx + b

m= slope and b= y - intercept

1.25x + 12.5 = y

slope: 1.25

y - intercept: 12.5

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!
