Question

1. easton went to a concert with some of his friends. the tickets cost $29.50 each, and they spent a total of $15 on parking. the total amount spent was $133. determine how many people went to the concert. (example 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable & set equation

Let $x$ = number of people. Total cost: $29.50x + 15 = 133$

Step2: Isolate the term with $x$

Subtract 15 from both sides:
$29.50x = 133 - 15$
$29.50x = 118$

Step3: Solve for $x$

Divide by 29.50:
$x = \frac{118}{29.50}$

Answer:

4 people went to the concert.
