Ms Lemon has $150 to spend on the parking and admission to the zoo. The parking will cost $18, and the admission tickets will cost $16.50 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation that can be used to determine the number of people that she can bring to the zoo, including herself.

Let y be the no. of people she can bring

18 + 16.5y <= 150

Step-by-step explanation:

16.5y + 18 = 150

16.5y + 18 = 150

        -18    -18

        0       132  

          16.5y     132

          16.5       16.5

y = 8

Ms.Lemon can bring 8 people including herself

Step-by-step explanation:

First you are going to rewrite the equation then do the inverse operation of addition. Then, subtract 150 from 18 then you get 132 then you bring down 16.5y and cancel it out by dividing and then you divide 132 by 16.5 and you get 8 so Ms.Lemon can bring 8 people including her self.

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
