Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $115 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $15, and tickets cost $25 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine xx, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

The total cost of admission is 25x, since each ticket costs $25.

The total cost of parking and admission is 15+25x, since parking costs $15.

We want to find the value of x such that 15+25x is less than or equal to 115, since that is the maximum amount of money the group has to spend.

Solving the inequality 15+25x <= 115, we get:

15+25x <= 115

25x <= 100

x <= 4

Therefore, a group of 4 or fewer people can go to the amusement park

Answer 2

Answer: A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $115 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $15, and tickets cost $25 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

115 ≥ 25p + 15

115 ≥ 25p + 15

subtract 15 from both sides:

115 - 15 ≥ 25p + 15 - 15

100 ≥ 25p

divide both sides by 25:

100/25 ≥ 25p/25

4 ≥ p

4 people
