A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $145 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $9, and tickets cost $20 per person, including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine pp, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Inequality Equation

= $9 + 20p ≤ $145

The number of people that can go to the amusement park = 6 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people who can go to the amusement park be represented as: p

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $145 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $9, and tickets cost $20 per person, including tax.

The term no more than means equal to or less than

Hence, our inequality Equation =

$9 + $20 × x ≤ $145

$9 + 20p ≤ $145

Solving for p

$9 + 20p =& 145

Subtract $9 from both sides

$9 - $9 + 20p =$ 145 - $9

20p = 136

p = 136/20

p = 6.8 people

Since a person cannot be in decimal form, hence: only 6 people can go to the amusement park

-50/3 is the final answer! : )
