Watch help videoA group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $305to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $19, and tickets cost $26 per person,including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine p, thenumber of people who can go to the amusement park.<

Answer 1

p = number of people who can go to amusement park

Amount they want to spend is no more than $305. This means there expenses will be less than or equals to $305.

parking = $19

cost per person = $26

Therefore,

`19+26p\leq305`
`\begin{gathered} 26p\leq305-19 \\ 26p\leq286 \\ p\leq(286)/(26) \\ p\leq11 \end{gathered}`
