You often go to school by bus. You have two payment

options. Option A is to buy a monthly pass and pay

$1.50 per ride and a monthly pass costs $15. Option B is

to pay $3 per ride.

make equations to represent the total cost of option A and B. After how many rides will the total cost of each option be the same? What is this total cost?

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.
