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 answer

32.50x + 10.50 ≤ 160

Subtract 10.50 from both sides:

32.50x ≤ 149.50

Divide both sides by 32.50:

x ≤ 4.6

Therefore, the number of people who can go to the amusement park is 4 or less.
