Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $150 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $9.75, and tickets cost $13.75 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine p, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

group of friends have $150 to spend on the amusement park admission and parking.

150 - 13.50 = 136.50

136.50 / 22.75 = 6

x = 6

13.50 + 22.75x = 150

13.50 + 22.75(6) = 150

22.75 * 6 = 136.50

136.50 + 13.50 = 150
