(1 point) Responses 6 more times 6 more times 7 more times 7 more times 8 more times 8 more times 9 more times 9 more times Skip to navigation

Answer 1

To determine how many more times Anthony can go to the park, we start by calculating how much of the gift card he has left after spending $24.

1. Initial gift card amount: $75
2. Amount spent so far: $24
3. Remaining balance: \( 75 - 24 = 51 \)

Next, we need to calculate the cost of each visit to the park. Since Anthony uses both the batting cages and the go-karts every time he visits, we add the costs of these activities together.

4. Cost of batting cages: $3
5. Cost of go-karts: $5
6. Total cost per visit: \( 3 + 5 = 8 \)

Now, we can determine how many more times Anthony can go to the park with the remaining balance of $51.

7. Number of visits possible: \[ \frac{51}{8} = 6.375 \] This means he can go 6 full times, as he cannot make a fraction of a visit.

Thus, Anthony can go to the park 6 more times using his gift card. The answer is:

6 more times.
