Answer 2

Answer:

$11.00 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The entrance fee is a constant, meaning no matter what this number will not change. It is a fee that is added on. So, in this situation you would now know to add the entrance fee onto your end answer.

So, in the carnival you can go on rides and those rides aren't free they cost something and luckily in this problem we are given that number: which is $0.50 for "each ride" = $.50 per 1 ride. It says that Sanjay has gone for 6 rides over the course of his time there. To find the total amount of money spent you would multiply the # of rides by how much each ride cost and you would get your total.

Equation: $.50 x 6 rides = $3.00

but then you need to add the entrance fee onto this answer and you get your final amount of how much Sanjay spent in total.

$3.00 + $8.00 = $11.00

$11.00 is your final Answer
