Responses

The entry fee for the car was $12.50.

The entry fee for the car was $2.50.
The entry fee for the car was $2.50.

Each individual entry fee was $10.00.
Each individual entry fee was $10.00.

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.
The entry fee for the car was $10.00.

Answer 1

To interpret the expression \(2.5x + 10\), we need to break it down:

• The term \(2.5x\) likely represents the individual entry fees which Julio and Ashley both pay. Here, \(x\) represents the number of individuals paying an entry fee, which is 2 (Julio and Ashley). Therefore, \(2.5x\) suggests that each individual entry fee is $2.50.

• The term \(10\) likely represents a fixed entry fee for the car.

Given these interpretations, the correct response based on the choices provided is:

The entry fee for the car was $10.00.
