Answer:
The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
First you create an equation to represent the question
8.75+25.75x≤420
You put the less than or equal to sign because 420 is the maximum amount of money.
Now you just solve the equation.
25.75x≤420-8.75
25.75x≤411.25
x≤411.25/25.75
x≤15.9708738
Then you have to round down because you cant have .9 of a person.
So x≤15
Then, Check your solution
8.75+(25.75 x 15)≤420
8.75+386.25≤420
395≤420
That is true. But to make sure that is the maximum add another 25.75
395+25.75≤420
420.75≤420
This is equation is false so, our answer is correct.
The maximum amount of people that can go to the amusement park is 15.
