Answer:

3 people

$9.5 left over

Step-by-step explanation:

pp = 18 + 22.75

pp = 40.75

total people who can go = 131.75/pp

tp = 131.75/pp

tp = 3 remainder $9.5

(this is if they all arrive in individual cars)

The number of people that can go to the amusement park are 5 .

Concept:

First, we need to find the amount left after deducting parking charges. Then the remaining amount can be divided by the price of one ticket to find out how many persons can buy the ticket from the same amount.

How to solve the given problem?

  • The parking charges are $18 and the ticket costs $22.75 per person.
  • So amount left after parking charges = $131.75 -$18 = $113.75
  • To find the number of persons, let x be the no of tickets that can be purchased from the given amount.
  • So the expression can be framed as 22.75x = 113.75.
  • On solving the expression, we get x = 5 nos.

Thus, 5 number of persons can go to the amusement park.
