To find the total cost [tex]\( t \)[/tex] considering both the admission cost per person and the cost per ride, we need to set up an equation that accounts for these variables correctly.
The given information is:
- Admission cost per person: \[tex]$6.50
- Cost per ride: \$[/tex]2.50
Let's use:
- [tex]\( p \)[/tex] for the number of persons
- [tex]\( r \)[/tex] for the number of rides
The total cost [tex]\( t \)[/tex] will be the sum of the admission cost for all persons plus the cost for all rides. This can be expressed as:
[tex]\[ t = (\text{Admission cost per person} \times \text{number of persons}) + (\text{Cost per ride} \times \text{number of rides}) \][/tex]
Plugging in the values, we get:
[tex]\[ t = 6.50p + 2.50r \][/tex]
Hence, the correct equation to use to create a table with this information is:
[tex]\[ 6.50p + 2.50r = t \][/tex]
