An amusement park reduced the admission price to $15.50 per day, but now charges $1.50 per ride. Mark has $26 to spend on admission and rides. Write an algebraic equation to find how many rides Mark can ride in one day.

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total amount to spend = $26

Admission fee = $15.50

Charge per ride = $1.50

Number of rides Mike can take in a day:

Let number of rides can take In a day = x

[Admission fee + (charge per ride * number of rides)] less than equal to total amount

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ total amount

15.50 + 1.50x ≤ 26

1.50x ≤ 26 - 15.50

1.50x ≤ 10.50

Divide both sides by 1.50

x ≤ 10.50 / 1.50

x ≤ 7

Hence, number of rides per day = 7

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
