Answer:
Evan can go on 30 rides (based on the assumption that Evan's parent gave him $20)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The admission to the fair = $5
The cost per ride = $0.50
Let assume that the number of ride Evan can go = x
So if The cost per ride = $0.50
x ride = $0.50x
We are not told that he is given money by anybody, but let assume his parent gave him $20,
Then, if Evan pays $5 for admission into the fair. Then he will have $(20-5) = $15 left
The relation expressing how many rides Evan can go is:
0.5x = 15
Since the cost per ride = $0.5
x rides cost $15/0.5
x = 15/0.5
x = 30
Hence, Evan can go on 30 rides
