Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $275

to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $17.50, and tickets cost $25 per

person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine

2, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

x ≤ 10.3 people

Approximately x ≤ 10 people

Explanation:

Parking = $17.50

Tickets = $25 per person

Let

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

17.50 + 25x ≤ 275

25x ≤ 275 - 17.50

25x ≤ 257.50

x ≤ 257.50/25

x ≤ 10.3

Approximately 10 people can to the amusement park
