Answer:
It cost $8 per person to get into the carnival
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the entry cost be y
Let Cost of 1 game be x
Cost of 5 games = 5x
Cost of 12 games = 12x
Frankie played 5 games and spent $15.50 altogether.
So, [tex]5x+y=15.50[/tex] --- A
Maria played 12 games and spent $26 altogether.
So, [tex]12x+y=26[/tex] -- B
Plot the lines
[tex]5x+y=15.50[/tex] --- Black color
[tex]12x+y=26[/tex] --- Red color
Intersection point provides the solution
(x,y)=(1.5,8)
So, it cost $8 per person to get into the carnival
