Question

1. the county fair charges $11.00 for general admission. once inside, each ride costs $2.00. sharon has $24.50 in her pocket.

write an inequality that could be used to determine the most amount of rides, $x$, sharon could ride.

Step1: Define total cost

Total cost = Admission + Ride cost.
$\text{Total Cost} = 11 + 2x$

Step2: Set cost ≤ total money

Total cost cannot exceed Sharon's money.
$11 + 2x \leq 24.50$

Answer:

$11 + 2x \leq 24.50$
