Tiggy · Answer 1

Option A: 1.50x + 15

Option B: 3x

After 10 rides, the total cost of each option will be the same. This total cost is $30

Step-by-step explanation:

X represents how many rides you take. After 10 rides, the total cost of each option will be the same. To find that, keep plugging in numbers into x until the numbers are the same. This total cost where the numbers are the same is $30.
