Question

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $190 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $6, and tickets cost $23 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

Answer 1

The number of of people who can go to the amusement park is 8.

It is required to find number of of people.

What is equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign. Equation, statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers.

Given that:

Let p represent the number of people.

Since the ticket costs $23 per person,

Amount=rate × number of person

= $23 × p

= 23p.

Since to pay $6 for parking, the total amount spent

T = 23p + 6.

Since the total amount equals $190.

Total = 190

The required equation is  

23p + 6 = 190

Solving the equation we have

23p + 6= 190

23p = 190 - 6

23p = 184

p = 184/23

p = 8

Therefore, the number of of people who can go to the amusement park is 8.
