A bus pass has a starting value of $100. After one ride, the value of the pass is $98.25. After two rides, its value is $96.50. After three rides, its value is $94.75.
1. Write a rule to represent the remaining value on the card as an arithmetic sequence.
# of Rides Bus Pass Value Rule
0 $100.00
1 $98.25
2 $96.50
3 $94.75
15 _____
2. What is the value of the pass after 15 rides?

3. How many rides can be taken with the $100 pass? (hint: set up an equation y=mx+b using the cost per ride as your NEGATIVE “m” value because your value goes down each time you ride and $100 as your starting “b” value. We’re solving for x when the total is 0. So, 0 = -___x + 100, fill in the blank with the cost per ride and solve for x.)
