Answer:
Cole can play only 15 games if he has $35 to spend at the park
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of money Cole has with him as he goes to the park is $35.
As he goes to the park, 12.5 dollars is taken from him at the gate, leaving him with only $35 - $12.5 = $22.5
He now has only $22.5 to play games.
If each game costs $1.5 then he will be able to play [tex]\frac{22.5}{1.5}[/tex] games = 15 games only.
Hence, Cole will be only able to play 15 games if he goes to the park with $35
Answer: he can play at most, 15 games at the park
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number if games that Cole can play.
It costs $12.50 to enter an amusement park and $1.50 to play each game. It means that the total cost of entering the amusement park and playing g games is
12.5 + 1.5g
if he has $35 to spend at the park, then the inequality representing the number of games that he can play is
12.5 + 1.5g ≤ 35
1.5g ≤ 35 - 12.5
1.5g ≤ 22.5
g ≤ 22.5/1.5
g ≤ 15
