Answer: The total number of rides in the park = 50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Number of rides in the park.
Also, 8% of the rides in the park are water rides.
if there are 4 water rides then it means that
8% of x = 4
[tex]\Rightarrow\ \dfrac{8}{100}\times x = 4\ \ \ [\text{We convert percent into fraction by dividing it by 100}]\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{4\times100}{8}=50[/tex]
Hence, the total number of rides in the park = 50
