The answer is Ms Daye can bring up to 6 people to the zoo.
x - the number of people that she can bring to the zooThe parking will cost $7: a = 7Admission tickets will cost $15.50 per person: b = 15.50xShe can spend on parking and admission tickets $100:a + b ≤ 100
a = 7b = 15.50x
7 + 15.50x ≤ 10015.50x ≤ 100 - 715.50x ≤ 93x ≤ 93 / 15.50x ≤ 6
I think this will be the answer
