suppose you went to a carnival. the price to get in was $7, and you paid $0.50 to get on each ride. if you went to the carnival and rode 11 rides, how much did you spend?

1 answer

To calculate the total amount spent, first, calculate the cost of the rides:

$0.50/ride * 11 rides = $<<0.50*11=5.50>>5.50

Then add the cost of admission to find the total amount spent:

$7 + $5.50 = $<<7+5.5=12.50>>12.50

Therefore, you spent $12.50 at the carnival.
