Write an expression for the cost riding n rides on the All-Day Fun Pass: write an expression for the cost of riding n rides on the Ride-Busters Pass: write and solve an inequality that expresses the number of rides, n for which the Ride-Buster Pass is greater than the All-Day Fun Pass.Explanation / Answer
a) If the dale chooses all day fun pass
Amount Paid = 8 * 3.25 = $26
If he chooses ride-busters pass
Amount Paid = 29.25 + 8 * 1.25 = $39.25

b) If the Carla chooses all day fun pass
Amount Paid = 20 * 3.25 = $65
If he chooses ride-busters pass
Amount Paid = 29.25 + 20 * 1.25 = $54.25
Hence the Carla should opt for ride buster pass pass, since he would be able to save $10.75
c)
Cost for n rides in all day fun passes = $3.25n
d)
Cost of n rides in ride buster pass = $29.25 + $1.25n
e)
$29.25 + $1.25n > $3.25n
29.25 > 2n
n < 14.625
