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.
\[
C = 30P
\]
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.
