A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $131.25 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $16.25, and tickets cost $23 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine pp, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Equation: 23p + 16.25 = 131.25

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
