To enter a local fair, one must pay an entrance fee and pay for the number of ride tickets he/she wants. Admission to the fair is given by the equation f(x) = .50x + 10, where x represents the number of tickets purchased and f(x) represents the total price. How much does each ride ticket cost?
A) $10
B) $0.50 <my choice
C) $10.50
D) Not enough information.

(.50x+10)/x = .50 + 10/x

and ... ?

Answer 2

$0.50
