Respuesta :
assume that he played games for the whole time being.
this is the total cost he would pay if he played games the whole time.
2 x 18 = 36
this is the difference between playing games for the whole time VS the actual amount he paid.
60 - 36 = 24
as you can see from above, he needs to pay extra $24 to fit the $60 in the word problem.
the difference between a ride and a game is 5-2 = 3
so, to find out how many rides he played, ( since we already assumed that all he played were games just now )
24 / 3 = 8
CHECK :
8 x 5 = $40 ( rides )
2 x 10 = $20 ( games )
hope this helpedd

Number of rides and Number of games are 8 and 10.
Given that;
Cost of each game = $2
Cost of each rides = $5
Total amount spend by Samuel = $60
Total number of games and rides = 18
Find:
Number of rides and games
Computation:
Assume;
Number of games = a
Number of rides = b
So,
2a + 5b = 60 ......... Eq1
and
a + b = 18 ......... Eq2
Eq2 × 2
2a + 2b = 36 ........ Eq3
From Eq3 and Eq1
3b = 24
b = 8
Number of rides = 8 rides
Number of games = 10 games
