Answer:

x= $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

- solve for Rides (r), 25-7=8r--> r=2.25, or $2.25 a ride

- then solve for how much money you have left: 25=7+[$3*2]+2.50+2.25r... 2.25r= 25-15.5... (2.25*5)=9.5+x

- 11.25=9.5+x

- x is equal to the additional money needed to ride 5 rides

Answer:

$1.75 more

Step-by-step explanation:

25.00-7.00 = $18.00

18.00-3.00-3.00=12.00

12.00-2.50=$9.50

18.00 divided by 8 rides= 2.25 per ride

2.25 x 5=11.25

11.25-9.50= $1.75
