Question

The basketball team is playing in the championship game and wants to take a bus filled with family and friends to cheer for the players. The bus will cost a total of $90, and each ticket to the game will cost $2. What is the maximum number of people that the team can take without exceeding their budget of $160?

Answer 1

Maximum number of people is 35

Explanation:

With a total of $160 you have to pay for the bus and all the people. The bus cost $90 so you subtract that from the 160 because you bought (or rented) the bus. Then you have $70 left to pay for everyone's tickets. If each ticket is $2 then you can buy 35 tickets in total because 70 divided by 2 = 35.
