Question

Ms. Hernandez has $100 to spend on parking and admission to the zoo. The parking will cost $7, and admission tickets will cost $15.50 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation that can be used to determine the number of people that she can bring to the zoo, including herself

Answer 1

6

Explanation:

The parking costs $7 and the tickets costs $15.50 each person to find how many people she can bring including herself we'd need to subtract parking cost then divide the remaining amount by 15.50

($100 - $7) ÷ $15.50 = 6

She can bring 6 people to the zoo including herself.
