Answer:
8 friends
Explanation:
The group of friends will park only once, so you only need to add $5.75 once, but you still need to add the amount of money for all the people who are in the car, 24.50 x 8 is equal to exactly 196 dollars, so 196 + 5.75 is equal to exactly 201.75, which is the amount of money the group has, so 8 people can come.
