Each ride on the subway costs $1.25. If you buy a monthly pass for $47, you can ride as often as you want.?

Question

Write and solve an inequality that models teh sumebr of times you need to ride teh subway so that buying a pass costs less than paying for each ride.

Answer 1

x > 47/1.25
x>37.6

X is greater than the total cost of the pass divide by the cost of each individual ride.

If each ride is 1.25, divide 47 by 1.25. That equals 37.6 rides. X must be greater than 37.6 rides for the pass to pay for itself.

Since you can't take .6 of a ride, you need to ride 38 or more times each month for the pass to pay for itself.

Answer 2

n*1.25>47

n>47/1.25=47*4/5=188/5=37.6

If you ride 38 times or more, the monthly pass is cheaper.

Answer 3

1.25x > 47
x > 47/1.25
x > 37.6
so you would need to ride 38 times in order for the pass to pay off.
38*1.25=47.50, so it checks out

Answer 4

well if you ride it 7 days a week
1.25x7=8.75 a week
and 30 days in a monthx8.75= 265 or something

i dont know that could be completely wrong i would say its a lot cheaper buying a pass.

Answer 5

N(1.25)>47

N >47/1.25
