Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $160 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $10.50, and tickets cost $32.50 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answer 1

x=4.6 answer is at most 4 people can go

Explanation:

32.50x+10.50=160.00

- 10.50 -10.50

149.50

32.50x = 149.50

Divide 32.50 and 149.50 to find x.

x = 4.6 round down because you cant have a fraction of a person. so 4 people can go.
