Answer:

$y=1.25x+12.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y represents the total cost and x represents the number of ride tickets.

The county fair charges $1.25 per ticket for the rides.

Jermaine bought 25 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $43.75 at the fair.

Cost for ride tickets = $25\times1.25=31.25$ dollars

Amount left after tickets = $43.75-31.25$ = $12.50

Now we get the equation as:

$y=1.25x+12.5$

Here, y is the total cost, 1.25 is the price per ticket and x is the number of tickets and 12.5 is the admission cost.
