An amusement park charges an admission fee of 30 dollars for each person.Let C be the cost (in dollars) of admission for P people.

Question

Write an equation relating C to P . Then use this equation to find the cost of admission for 15 people.

Answer 1

To create an equation relating the cost $C$ to the number of people $P$, we can express the cost as:

$$C=30P$$

where $C$ is the total cost in dollars and $P$ is the number of people.

Now, to find the cost of admission for 15 people, we can substitute $P=15$ into the equation:

$$C=30\times 15$$

Calculating this gives:

$$C=450$$

Therefore, the cost of admission for 15 people is $450$ dollars.
