To find the number of people in Mrs. Gosling's family (p), you can set up an equation based on the total cost of the tickets and parking.
The total cost for admission is given by the price per ticket multiplied by the number of people, which is \(45p\). There is also a fixed cost for parking, which is $25.
Therefore, the total cost equation can be expressed as:
\[
45p + 25 = 295
\]
This equation can be used to solve for \(p\), the number of people in Mrs. Gosling's family.
