At a county fair the admission is $8.00 and each ride costs $1.25. If you go to the fair with $20.00, what is the maximum number of rides you can go on?
Correct answer: C. 10
- A. 8
- B. 9
- C. 10
- D. 11
Explanation
Money available for rides after paying admission fee=$20.00 - $8.00 = $12.00 Divide the money available for rides by the cost of each ride to find the maximum number of rides: $12.00 ÷ $1.25 per ride = 9.6 rides Since we cannot ride a fraction of a ride, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the maximum number of rides we can go on is 9. Answer: B) 9
