Question

today the engel family went to the zoo. Admissions for each person is $50. The parking feeis $16. How many people in the engel family went to the zoo today if $316 was spent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The total people in the Engel family who went to the zoo is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission for each person =$50

Parking fee = $16

Let us assume the total member who go to zoo = m

So, Total ticket price for m people = m x (Price of each ticket)

= m x ($500= 50 m

Total money spent by the family =  $ 316

⇒  Parking Fee + Money spent on m tickets  = Total money = $316

⇒ 16 + 50 m = 316

or, 50 m = 316 - 16  = 300

⇒ m = 300 / 50 = 6

or, m = 6

Hence the total people in the engel family  who went to  zoo is 6.
