A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $222.50 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is 13.50, and tickets cost $19 per person. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

222.50 = 19x + 13.50

X = 11

So, 11 people can go to the amusement park
