Question

Get ready for an amusement park day of fun! You and your family want to spend the day at a theme park. You have pooled your money together and have $685. The tickets to the park are $125 each and there is an online processing fee of $5.75 per ticket. You also need to pay $20 for parking. If you have a family of five, do you have enough money to purchase these tickets? Find an inequality to determine how many tickets can be purchased. Then find how many tickets you are able to purchase based on your inequality.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let t = number of tickets. Total cost = (125 + 5.75)t + 20 = 130.75t + 20.
Inequality: 130.75t + 20 ≤ 685.

Solve: 130.75t ≤ 665 → t ≤ 665 / 130.75 ≈ 5.0869, so the maximum whole tickets you can buy is 5.

For a family of five the cost = 130.75(5) + 20 = 673.75, which is ≤ 685, so yes you can purchase the 5 tickets (you would have $11.25 left).
