A group of friends go to the amusement park….

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $327.75 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $13.75, and tickets cost $39.25 per person, including tax. How many people can go to the amusement park?

---

p = the number of people going

39.25p + 13.75 ≤ 327.75 {tickets are $39.25 each, parking is $13.75, all must be less than or equal to $327.75}
39.25p ≤ 314 {subtracted 13.75 from each side}
p ≤ 8 {divided each side by 39.25}

8 or less people may go to the amusement park.
