A family pays $8.00 to park at a concert. Tickets for the concert cost $13.50 per person. The family spent a total of $89.00 for parking fees and tickets to the concert. The situation can be modeled by the equation 89 = 13.5n + 8, where n represents the number of tickets purchased. How many concert tickets did the family purchase?
