Question

PLEASE HELP

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $272 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $7.75, and tickets cost $37.75 per person, including tax. How many people can go to the amusement park?

Answer 1

7 people

Explanation:

Given:

$272 total money for all friends

parking costs $7.75 for all

tickets cost $37.75 per person

Solution;

Take away the money for parking to see how much money we have left for tickets

272 - 7.72 = $ 264.25

We divide the $264.25 to the price of 1 ticket $37.75 to see how many tickets we have money for

264.25 / 37.75 = 7

If we have money for 7 tickets then 7 friends can go to the amusement park.
