Mr. Gosling drove his family to the local theme park for the day the cost for admission is 45$ per ticket and 25$ for parking.
Which equation can be used to find p, the number of people in me goslings' family is he spent a total of 295$
The equation that can be used to find p, the number of people in the Gosling's family is:
45p + 25 = 295
Where p represents the number of people in the family.
To find the number of people in Mr. Gosling's family (p), we need to set up an equation using the given information.
Let's break down the cost:
- The cost for each ticket is $45 per person.
- There is a parking fee of $25.
The equation can be set up as follows:
45p + 25 = 295
In this equation, 45p represents the total cost of tickets for the p number of people in Mr. Gosling's family, and 25 represents the parking fee. The sum of these costs should equal the total amount spent, which is $295.
To solve for p, we can solve this simple linear equation:
45p = 295 - 25
45p = 270
p = 270 / 45
p = 6
Therefore, the number of people in Mr. Gosling's family is 6.
Let's assume the number of people in Mr. Gosling's family is denoted by 'p'.
The total cost of admission for 'p' people is given by:
Admission cost = 45 * p
The parking cost is a fixed amount of $25.
So, the total cost for Mr. Gosling is the sum of the admission cost and the parking cost:
Total cost = Admission cost + Parking cost
295 = (45 * p) + 25
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find 'p' is:
45p + 25 = 295
