A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have no more than $275 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $5, and tickets cost $27 per person,

including tax. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine 2, the

number of people who can go to the amusement park.

10 persons

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

We are told that they have a total of $275

also, they want to spend $5 on packing space

and a ticket cost $27 per person.

Step two:

let the number of persons be x

and let the total amount to be spent be y

hence the inequality is

y≤ 5+ 27x

now for y= $275, let us find x

Substitute into the inequality we have

275≤5+27x

275-5≤27x

270≤27x

Divide both sides by 27

x ≤ 270/27

x ≤ 10

Hence the number of persons should not be more than 10
