Answer:
Let C represent the total cost of each deal Â
Let T be the number of trips down the water slide
C = 32 Â Â Â Â for the 1st deal since the cost is the same regardless of how much she rides Â
C = 18 + T Â for the 2nd deal
To find when the two costs are equal set them equal to each other and solve for T
32 = 18 + T
T = 14 Â trips
The cost must be $32 since that is the only cost possible for the 1st deal Â
