Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation

$160 to spend and $12 and $20.50 so 12 + 20.50 = $34.50 plus taxs

34.50 x 4 = $136 and left with $24

Answer 2

7 people

Explanation:

Start with $160. and subtract $12 for parking because you have to pay that no matter how many people you buy tickets for.

160-12=148

Now you can see how many tickets you can buy with $148 by dividing by the price of the ticket which is $20.50

148/20.5=7.21951219512

You can buy 7 tickets

if you do the math, there is $4.50 leftover
