parking and admission. Parking is $8.75, and

maximum number of people who can go to the
amusement park?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you create an equation to represent the question

8.75+25.75x≤420

You put the less than or equal to sign because 420 is the maximum amount of money.

Now you just solve the equation.

25.75x≤420-8.75

25.75x≤411.25

x≤411.25/25.75

x≤15.9708738

Then you have to round down because you cant have .9 of a person.

So x≤15

Then, Check your solution

8.75+(25.75 x 15)≤420

8.75+386.25≤420

395≤420

That is true. But to make sure that is the maximum add another 25.75

395+25.75≤420

420.75≤420

This is equation is false so, our answer is correct.

The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
