Question: Harvey goes to a theme park where tokens cost 75 cents. A roller coaster ride costs 2 tokens. A ride on the Ferris wheel costs 3 tokens. Harvey rides the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel 7 times each. How much did Harvey spend on rides?
Answer: $26.25
Solution: Two tokens for the roller coaster cost 75 cents x 2 = $1.50. Three tokens for the Ferris wheel cost 75 cents x 3 = $2.25. The total cost for 7 rides on the roller coaster cost $1.50 x 7 = $10.50, and 7 rides on the Ferris wheel cost $2.25 x 7 = $15.75. So, Harvey spent $10.50 + $15.75 = $26.25.
