$1.50 - the price of a ride ticket

20 · $1.50 = $30.00 - the total cost of purchasing 20 tickets

$48.75 - the total amount that Jarmaine spent at the country fair

$48.75 - $30.00 = $18.75 - cost of fair admission

x - the number of ride tickets

y - the total cost

The linear equation in slope-intercept form:

y = 20x + 18.75
