Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $243.25 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $15.75, and tickets cost $22.75 per person, including tax. How many people can go to the amusement park?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 people

Explanation:

Parking needs to be paid for but if all friends are going together, they need to only pay once for parking.

The amount spent on just tickets is therefore:

= 243.25 - 15.75

= $227.50.

If $227.50 was for tickets alone, the number of tickets they could buy is:

= Total amount left/ Price of tickets

= 227.50 / 22.75

= 10 people
