Part C. For how many people would the cost be the same for each park?
Write an equation that represents the situation then solve. (Explain/Justify your thinking.)

A)

Adventureland.

B)

Coaster City

C)

5 People

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of Adventureland for p people is:

And the cost of Coaster City for p people is:

Part A)

If four people is going on the trip, p = 4. So, the cost for Adventureland is:

And the cost for Coaster City is:

Since $56 < $60, Adventureland will be a better option.

Part B)

If three extra people were invited, the total amount of people p is now 7. So, the cost to Adventureland is:

And the cost to Coaster City is:

Since $75 < $83, Coaster City is the better option in this case.

Part C)

So, we can set the two cost equations equal to each other:

Solve for p. Subtracting 20 from both sides yields:

And subtracting 5p from both sides yields:

And dividing both sides by 4:  

So, if 5 people went on a trip, the cost of going to either Adventureland or Coaster City will be the same.

answer: x=60
