Final answer:
The equation to calculate the number of people, p, who can go to the amusement park with a budget of $190 for parking and admission is $190 - $6 = $23 × p. Solving for p, we find that 8 people can afford to go to the amusement park.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine p, the number of people who can go to the amusement park, we need to set up an equation that takes into account the total amount of money available ($190), the cost of parking ($6), and the cost of one admission ticket ($23 per person). We subtract the fixed parking cost from the total budget and then divide the remaining amount by the cost per ticket to find the number of people, p that can afford the admission.
The equation is:
Total Budget - Parking = (Ticket Price × p)
$190 - $6 = $23 × p
To solve for p, we divide both sides of the equation by $23:
($190 - $6) / $23 = p
p = 8
So, 8 people can go to the amusement park.
