Question

A group of friends decided to go out of town to a championship football game. The group pays $85 per ticket plus a one-time convenience fee of $35. They also pay $26 each to ride a tour bus to the game. If the group sent $3,587 in total, how many friends are in the group?

Answer 1

Answer: The group size is 32 friends.

Explanation:

We will consider the total number of friends as x

The total expenditure can be broken down into the following equation:

85*x + 35 + 26*x = 3587

111x = 3587-35

111x = 3552

x = 3552/111

x = 32
