f(x) = -1.5x + 70
This function represents the amount of money left over after x rides, with each ride costing $1.50. The initial amount of money your friend had was $90 (90 - 5 - 15 = 70), and for each ride taken, $1.50 is subtracted from that amount.
Your friend has $90 when he goes to the fair. He spends $5 to enter the fair and $15 on food. Rides at the fair cost $1.50 per ride. Which function can be used to determine how much money he has left over after x rides?
f(x) = 1.5x + 70
f(x) = −1.5x + 70
f(x) = −1.5x − 70
f(x) = −20x + $90
