Question

somebody please help me- general admission tickets to the fair cost $3.50 per person. ride passes cost an additional $5.50 per person. parking costs $6 for the family. the total costs for ride passes and parking was $51. how many people in the family attended the fair?

Answer 1

x = number of people
3.50x + 5.50x + 6 = 51
9x + 6 = 51
9x = 51 - 6
9x = 45
x = 45/9
x = 5....there were 5 people in the family that attended the fair
