To find how much more it will cost for a group of 3 friends to ride 10 rides each compared to riding 4 rides each, we first need to calculate the total cost for both scenarios.

  1. Cost for 10 rides each:

    • Admission for 3 friends: \(3 \times 8.25 = 24.75\)
    • Total ride cost for 3 friends riding 10 rides each: \[ 10 \text{ rides} \times 1.50 \text{ per ride} \times 3 \text{ friends} = 45.00 \]
    • Total cost for 10 rides each: \[ 24.75 + 45.00 = 69.75 \]

  2. Cost for 4 rides each:

    • Admission for 3 friends: \(3 \times 8.25 = 24.75\)
    • Total ride cost for 3 friends riding 4 rides each: \[ 4 \text{ rides} \times 1.50 \text{ per ride} \times 3 \text{ friends} = 18.00 \]
    • Total cost for 4 rides each: \[ 24.75 + 18.00 = 42.75 \]

  3. Difference in cost: \[ 69.75 - 42.75 = 27.00 \]

Thus, it will cost $27.00 more for the group of 3 friends to ride 10 rides each than to ride 4 rides each.

The answer is 27.00.
