Beverly has $50 to spend at an amusement park. She plans to spend $10 for food, and $15 for admission to the park. Each ride costs $1.50 to ride. Write an inequality to represent the possible number of rides she can ride?
First, we subtract the food and admission cost from Beverly's starting balance of $50:
Cost available for rides = Starting Balance - Food - Admission
Cost available for rides = 50 - 10 - 15
Cost available for rides = 25
Now we set up an inequality for the number of rides (r) that Beverly can ride with the remaining balance:
1.50r <= 25
To solve for r, we type this inequality into our search engine and we get:
r <= 16.67
