Ellie is going to a carnival that has games and rides. Each game costs $2.50 and each ride costs $3.50. How much would Ellie have to pay if she wanted to play 5 games and go on 7 rides? How much would Ellie have to pay if she wanted to play xx games and go on yy rides?

5 games and 7 rides:

1 game (x) = 2.50

1 ride (y) = 3.50

5x + 7y

5(2.50) + 7(3.50)

12.50 + 24.50

37

Ellie would have to pay $37 to play 5 games and go on 7 rides.

Hope this helps!! :)

$37

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the prices of the games and the rides.

First you find the games. Since there are 5 games, you do 2.50 * 5. This gives you 12.5. She would have to have $12.50 to spend.

Next, you do the rides. There are 7 rides, each for 3.50, so you do 3.50 * 7, giving you 24.50. She would have to have $24.50 to spend on rides.

Now the question asks how much she would have to pay to do both. This means you add your values:

12.5 + 24.5 = $37.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3
