Explanation:

First of all PLEASE PAY ATTENTION in class.

Secondly, I'll show you the method now.

We know that they paid 10$ for their parking and $90 altogether. So we can remove $10 from the $90. This now makes it $80.

We know that Michael, his wife and 2 other people (a couple) went to the zoo, that makes it 4 people total. We can use this number to divide with $80 making it $20. This therefore means that it was 20$ per person.

Here is my explanation in method form.

x =
(90-10)/(4)

x =
(80)/(4)

x = 20
