A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $134.50 to
spend on parking and admission. Parking is $14.50, and tickets cost $24 per
person, including tax. How many people can go to the amusement park?

Answer 1

5 people maxiumum is the answer

Answer 2

Answer: You can only bring 5 people maximum.

Explanation:

1) Set up the equation

(>= greater than or equal to)

134.50 >= 24x +14.5

We set up the equation here with 24x as x is the amount of people. 14.5 is the starting value as it never changes. 134.50 is the amount that they can't overspend.

2) Solve the equation

134.50 >= 24x +14.5

120>= 24x

5>= x

3) Solve

You can only bring 5 people maximum.
