Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a group of friends wants to go to the amusement park and that they have $94.25 to spend on parking and admission.

We are further told that Parking is $14.75, and tickets cost $13.25 per person, including tax. The equation that can be used to solve the number of people who can go to the amusement park would be:

= 14.75 + 13.25p

Since they've $94.25 to spend, the number of people that can go to the amusement park will be:

14.75 + 13.25p = 94.25

13.25p = 94.25 - 14.75

13.25p = 79.50

p = 79.50 / 13.25

p = 6

6 people can go to the amusement park
