Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Adam goes to a skating rink on Tuesdays for $8.50. While there, he pays $1.50 for each item he buys at the concession stand.

To Find : Which equation best represents this information?

Solution :

Let the total cost be y

let no. of items he buys = x

Since cost of 1 item is $1.50

So, cost of x items is 1.50 x

Since cost of skating is $8.50

So, the total cost = \(1.50x+8.50\)

⇒ \(y = 1.50x+8.50\)
