Question

The cost of a ticket to an amusement park is $42 per person. for each group of up to eight people the cost per ticket decreases by three dollars for each person in the group. Marco’s ticket cost $30. Write and solve an equation to find the number of people in Marco’s group

Answer 1

This might not be correct but....
I’m going to use rounding,
42 x 2 = 84
84 divides by 3 = 28,
Which is near 30......So the number of people in the group is rounding to about 2 people.
