Answer 1

Answer:

$y =30+4x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Michael pays $30 to enter a state fair, plus $4 for each ride.

To Find: Which of the following equations represents his total cost?

Solution:

Let x be the number of rides .

Cost of 1 ride = $4

So, cost of x rides = 4x

We are given that Michael pays $30 to enter a state fair

Entry fee = $30

Let the total cost be y

So, total cost = $y =30+4x$

Hence the equation represents his total cost is $y =30+4x$.

Answer 2

He spends 30 to enter and 4 per ride

y = 4x + 30....with x being the number of rides and y being the total cost
