Jim went to a carnival with $25.00. he bought some food for $3.75. jim wants to spend the rest of his money on tickets for rides, r, which cost $1.25 each. which represents, r, the number of tickets jim can purchase?
(a) r < equal to 17
(b) r > equal to 17
(c) r < equal to 20
(d) r > equal to 20

(A)  is < than equal to 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount Jim had for the carnival =$25.00

Amount spent on food = $3.75

Amount left with him =

Jim plans to sped rest on tickets for rides.

Cost of each ride ticket = $1.25

Given: represents the number of ride tickets bought.

Using unitary method

If 1 ride ticket cost = $1.25

Cost of ride tickets in dollars will be =

Amount spent on rides must be less than or equal to the total amount left with Jim which is =$21.25.

So, we have:

⇒

Dividing both sides by 1.25.

⇒

∴

Thus, the inequality representing te number of tickets Jim can purchase is given by:

the correct answer is 5

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
