Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $223.25 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $11.25, and tickets cost $26.50 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine pp, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

8 = pp

Total= $223.25

pp=people

$223.25= $11.25 + $26.50pp

$223.25-11.25=26.50pp

212=26.50pp

Divide by 26.50

8 = pp
