Earl paid $37.95 for admission to the amusement park. each ride costs an additional $4.25.earl only has $75.what is the maximum number of rides he can go on? be sure to define any variable(s) that you use.

The maximum amount of rides that Earl can go on is 9.

Step-by-step explanation: Earl only has 75 to spend so you cannot go over it. Each ride should be represented by x because it is an unknown value. 37.95 is a constant. The equation is 75 = 4.25x + 37.95. Subract 37.95 and you get 39.05 = 4.25x. Divide by 4.25 and you get 9.18823529412 = x. You cannot go on part of the ride so remove the decimal value. The answer is 9 rides.

2 5/8 is the final answer! : )
