The fairy tale spectacular is coming to town. Admission to the fair costs $32.50 and each ride costs $.80.

You have $50 to spend at the fairy tale spectacular including admission.

Suppose you took x ride, then we can write.

So the inequality can be written as below:

[tex]32.50+0.80x\leq 50[/tex]

PartB:

Now lets solve the inequality

[tex]32.50+0.80x\leq 50\\\\ 0.80x\leq 50-32.50\\\\0.80x\leq 17.50\\\\x\leq 21.875[/tex]

Hence you can take a maximum of 21 rides.
