Respuesta :

Answer:

p = 3

27p + 6.25 = 87.25

      - 6.25     -6.25 = 27p + 0 = 81 = 27p = 81

81/27 = 3

p = 3

The equation for the number of people is [tex]27x+6.25=87.25[/tex] and the number of people who can go to the amusement park are [tex]3[/tex] .

What is equation ?

Equation is an expression the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign.

We have,

Spend on parking and admission  [tex]=\$ 87.25[/tex]

Spend on parking  [tex]=\$ 6.25[/tex]

Cost of ticket per person [tex]=\$ 27[/tex]

Let number of number of people [tex]=x[/tex]

Now,

According to the question;

[tex]27x+6.25=87.25[/tex]

So, this the equation for number of number of people.

Now,

[tex]27x+6.25=87.25[/tex]

[tex]27x=81[/tex]

[tex]x=3[/tex]

So, number of number of people is [tex]3[/tex], which we find out using above mentioned equation.

Hence, we can say that the equation for the number of people is [tex]27x+6.25=87.25[/tex] and the number of people who can go to the amusement park are [tex]3[/tex] .
