A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $300 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $12, and tickets cost $36 per person, including tax.

Answer 1

If parking is $12, that leaves $288 ($300 - $12) for admission tickets.

Since tickets cost $36 per person, the group can afford to buy 8 tickets ($288/$36 = 8).

So, the group of friends can consist of 8 people in total in order to stay within their budget of $300 for parking and admission.
