Let's assume the number of rides is represented by the variable X.
The cost for each person to get into the fair is $5, and since there are four of you (including yourself), the total cost for everyone to get into the fair is 4 * $5 = $20.
For each ride, the cost is $3, so the total cost for X rides would be X * $3 = $3X.
Therefore, the algebraic expression that represents the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides is:
Total Cost = $20 + $3X
You and your three friends are going to the state fair it cost five dollars per person for a mission and to the fair and three dollars for each ride which algebraic expression represents the total amount of money it will cost for you and your three friends to get into the fair and ride X amount of rides
