Answer:
Option D. The maximum number of rides is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
r -----> the number of rides
we have
[tex]5.00+1.00r \leq 16.00[/tex]
Solve for r
[tex]1.00r \leq 16.00-5.00[/tex]
[tex]1.00r \leq 11.00[/tex]
[tex]r \leq 11.00[/tex]
The maximum number of rides is 11
therefore
Tom can spend at most $16.00 at the carnival
The price of admission to the carnival is $5.00
Each ride costs an additional $1.00
The maximum number of rides is 11
