It costs $48.05 to get into the team park and then, $1.50 for every ride Michael goes on. He spent a total of $87.05. Write and solve an equation to find the number of rides that Michael went on.

48.05+1.5x=87.05

Step-by-step explanation:

48.50 is the one time entry fee, and you add that to how much he spent on rides. you calculate that by taking the cost per ride and multiplying it by how many rides he went on, but since we do not know that number, we use algebra:

subtract 48.05 from each side to get this:

1.5x=39

now, you want to get the x by its self, so you divide each side by 1.5 to get this:

x=26

so, michael went on 26 rides :)

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
