The Frederick County Fair costs $15.00 to get in and $2.50 per ride, while the Montgomery County Fair costs $10.00 to get in and $3.00 per ride. Which equations could be used to determine how many rides you would need to go on for both fairs to be of equal value?

• 15x + 2.5 = 10x + 3

• 15 + 2.5x = 10 + 3x

• 15 - 2.5x = 10

• 15 - 10 = 2.5x + 3x

At Gamestop you can buy a Xbox One for $150.00 and each game to go with it would cost $24.00. Or, you can buy a Playstation 4 for $180.00 and each game for $20.00. Write an equation to determine how many games would need to be purchased for the cost to be equal?

• 150x + 24 = 180 + 20x

• 180 - 150 = 24 x + 20x

• 150 + 24x = 180 + 20x

• 150 - 24x = 180 - 20x

• 12 + 3y < 16 + 2.5 y

• 12 + 3y > 16 + 2.5 y

• 12 + 3y = 16 + 2.5 y

• 12 + 3y < nothing!

Carolyn bought a dress that cost $45 and several pairs of pants, p, that were $9.99 each.  Michelle bought a jacket for $30 and pants that cost $11.50 each.  How many pairs of pants would the girls have to buy for Michelle’s total to exceed Carolyn’s total?

• 45 + 30 > 9.99p + 11.50p 
• 45p + 9.99 > 30p + 11.50
• 45 + 9.99p < 30 + 11.50p
• 45 + 9.99p > 30 + 11.50p

The table shows the cost per month of two cell phone plans. Which inequality can help determine how many phone calls you need to make per month so that Plan 2 is a better option?

• 25 - 0.35n > 37 - 0.25n

• 0.35n + 25 > 0.25n + 37

• 25 - 0.35n < 37 - 0.25n

• 0.35n + 25 < 0.25n + 37

Cody’s Gym charges a $15 fee to join and $30 per month. Tyler’s Gym charges a $30 fee to join and $20 per month. Write an inequality that could be used to determine after how many months Tyler’s gym would be a better deal.

• 30 + 20x < 15 + 30x

• 30x + 20 < 15x + 30

• 30 + 20x > 15 + 30x

• 30x + 20 > 15x + 30

Write the equation for the model.

• 2x - 4 = x - 7

• 2x + 4 = x + 7

• x - 4 = 2x - 7
