Madalyn Sweeney · Answer 1

She needs $11.25 for only 5 rides

She need $26,75 total to go for 5 rides including all other expenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Amount she have = $25

Let

Cost of each rides = x

According to given condition

Cost of 8 rides = Total amount she have - admission cost

8x = $25 - $7

8x = $18

x = $18 / 8

x = $2.25

So, each ride cost $2.25

Cost of 5 rides = 5 x

Cost of 5 rides = 5 x $2.25

Cost of 5 rides = $11.25

Total amount she needed = Cost of 5 rides + admission fee + carnival games cost + Snacks cost = $11.25 + $7 + (2 x $3) + $2.5 = $26.75
