Answer:
[tex]y=27x+20[/tex]
8 people went to the game.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of tickets.
We have been given that the family parked the car in a parking lot which charged $20. The cost per ticket was $27.
The cost of x tickets would be [tex]27x[/tex].
The total cost of going to baseball game would be equal to cost x tickets plus parking cost that is [tex]27x+20[/tex].
Therefore, the equation [tex]y=27x+20[/tex] represents the total cost (y) of going to the baseball game.
To find the number of people who went to game, we will equate total cost with 236 as:
[tex]236=27x+20[/tex]
[tex]236-20=27x+20-20[/tex]
[tex]216=27x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{216}{27}=\frac{27x}{27}[/tex]
[tex]8=x[/tex]
Therefore, 8 people went to the game.
