Answer 1

Let C be the cost (in dollars) of admission for P people since the amusement park charges an admission fee of $40 dollars per person, we can set the following equation:

`C=40* P\text{.}`

Then, evaluating the above equation at P=15 we get:

`\begin{gathered} C=40*15 \\ =600. \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the cost for 15 people is 600 dollars.
