Marlee Koch · Answer 1

16 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

The entry fee ($4) is to be subtracted from the total that Heidi spent ($12). This leads to $8 left for spending on tickets.

Let the number of tickets Heidi purchased be x. Then:

$8.00 = ($.50/ticket) x.

Dividing both sides by $0.50, we get 16.

Heidi bought 16 ride tickets.
