An amusement park is installing a new roller coaster. The park intends to
charge $5 per adult and $3 per child for
each ride. It hopes to earn back
more
than the $460,000 cost of construction in
four years. With the best of weather, the
park can provide 150,000 adult rides and
20.000 child rides in one season.
Let x be the number of adult rides in 4 years
and y the number of child rides in 4 years.
Which system of inequalities best represents
this situation?
Click on the correct answer.
5x + 3y 2 460,000 xs 150,000
y s 20,000
x < 150,000
5x + 3y = 460,000
y s 20,000
XS 450.000
5x + 3y s 460,000
y = 80,000
x < 450,000
5x + 3y > 460,000
y s 80,000
