HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer 1

10x=480 (x=48)

30 people must show up for the total cost per person to be $16

Explanation:

p= people

10p = 480

($10 multiplied by the number of people) 10p

p = 48

48 people bought $10 entrance

$16 multiplied by the number of people =16p

16p = 480

p = 30

30 people must show up for the total cost per person to be $16
