Problema Solution
Pg4 Six flags amusement park xharges a $69.95 admission fee. Riders can pay $2.00 to skip to the front of the line.
David is very inpatient and always buys a front of the line pass for $2.00. Write an equation in intercept form for calculating the total cost, C, of going to the park and riding r rides, given that David always buys a front of the line pass?
if David has $80.00 how many rides can he go on before he has to wait in line?
Answer provided by our tutors
the total money paid = $69.96 admission fee + $2.00 for each ride for r rides
C = 2r + 69.95
if David has $80.00 how many rides can he go on before he has to wait in line?
that is C = $80, we need to find r such that
2r + 69.95 <= 80
r <= 5.025
since the number of rides is integer we find r = 5 rides

David can go on 5 rides without waiting.
