A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $311.50 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $16.75, and tickets cost $32.75 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine pp, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Respuesta :

Equation can be:

$311.50 = $16.75 + $32.75x

To solve, start by isolsating the number with the variable by subtracting 16.75 on both sides.

The equation should now be:

$294.75 = $32.75x

Divide both sides by $32.75 to leave you with x, so the answer should be:

x = 9. 9 people can go to the amusement park.
