Answer:

17 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total budget = $40

Initiation fee = $10

Balance = $40 - $10

Balanace = $30

If tickets are discounted at $1.75 per person to visit, total number of people that can visit the museum is expressed as;

Number of people = Balance/price per person

Number of people = 30/1.75

Number of people = 17.1

Hence 17 people can visit the museum
