Let's represent the amount of money Owen and Charollet's mom gives them as "x".
The cost of each ride can be represented as "r".
The amount Owen spends on pizza can be represented as "5 dollars".
The amount Charollet spends on pizza and ice cream can be represented as "6.50 dollars".
The equation for Owen's spending can be written as: 8r + 5 = x
The equation for Charollet's spending can be written as: 5r + 6.50 = x
To find the cost of each ride, we need to solve the equation for "r" in one of the equations. Let's solve the equation for Owen's spending:
8r + 5 = x
8r = x - 5
r = (x - 5) / 8
So, the cost of each ride can be represented as (x - 5) / 8.
To determine how much each ride costs, we need an additional piece of information such as the total amount of money given by their mom or the value of "x".
