To determine the equation that represents the relationship between the number of games (x) and the number of rides (y) Jada could do if she spends all her money, we would typically need to know the cost of each game and each ride. However, without specific costs given in the prompt, we can analyze the equations based on possible interpretations of the relationship between games and rides.
1. **Identifying the correct equation:**
Let's assume that:
- Each game costs a certain amount, say \( a \).
- Each ride costs a different amount, say \( b \).
If Jada has a total of $20 to spend, we can set up an equation depending on the costs of the games and rides. Based on the options provided:
- **A: \( x + y = 20 \)**: This could mean that each game and ride costs $1.
- **B: \( 2x + y = 20 \)**: This would imply that each game costs $2 and each ride costs $1.
- **C: \( x + 2y = 20 \)**: This would suggest that each game costs $1 and each ride costs $2.
Without specific cost information, it's difficult to definitively pick one equation as "the" relationship, but we need to consider what each equation implies based on costs.
### 2. Explanation of the other two equations in context:
- **Equation A: \( x + y = 20 \)**
This equation suggests that both games and rides are equally priced, likely at $1 each. This means Jada can buy any combination of games and rides as long as the total number equals 20. For example, she could play 10 games and go on 10 rides.
- **Equation B: \( 2x + y = 20 \)**
In this equation, it implies that games are more expensive than rides. Specifically, since each game costs $2 and each ride costs $1, Jada needs to allocate her budget accordingly. If Jada plays 5 games (which would cost $10), she would then have $10 left for rides, allowing her to go on 10 rides. This equation reflects a scenario where Jada is making trade-offs based on the higher cost of games.
- **Equation C: \( x + 2y = 20 \)**
This equation means that rides are more expensive than games. Here, with each ride costing $2 and each game costing $1, Jada's total expenditure is limited by these costs. If she dedicates a significant part of her budget to rides, her number of games will be limited. For example, if she rides twice (which would cost $4), she could play 16 games with the remaining budget.
In summary, every equation represents a different budget allocation strategy based on different costs for games and rides, which can affect Jada's decisions on how to spend her money.
