Question 12 • Mathematics III

A charity bingo game costs 2 dollars per round and has a 13 dollars entry fee for an adult. It costs 3 dollars per round and a 10 dollars entry fee for a child. For how many rounds of bingo are the costs the same for an adult and a child?

Answer
A
5
B
2
C
4
D
3

Explanation

Let r be the number of rounds. The adult’s total cost is 13 + 2r dollars, and the child’s total cost is 10 + 3r dollars. Set them equal: 13 + 2r = 10 + 3r, so r = 3. The costs are the same after 3 rounds, which is choice D.
