Did you know?
Did you know that you can save money by choosing the unlimited game play option at a carnival? Here's how you can figure it out: Let's say you want to play a game 'x' number of times. Each game costs $0.50, so the total cost for 'x' games would be 0.50x dollars. On the other hand, if you choose the unlimited option for $15, you can play as many games as you want.
To find out when the unlimited option becomes cheaper, we need to write and solve an inequality. Let 'x' be the number of games you want to play. So, we have the inequality:
0.50x > 15
To solve this inequality, we divide both sides by 0.50:
x > 30
The solution to the inequality is x > 30. This means that if you plan to play more than 30 games at the carnival, it is cheaper to choose the unlimited game play option. However, if you only plan to play 30 games or less, it is more cost-effective to pay each time.
So, next time you're at a carnival and planning to play games, remember to calculate how many games you want to play and decide whether the unlimited option is a better deal for you!
