Answer:

17.75x + 5.25 [tex]\leq[/tex] 165

x [tex]\leq[/tex] 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost can be represented by 17.75x + 5.25, where x is the number of people.

They can only spend a maximum of $165, so a less than or equal sign has to be used.

The inequality will be 17.75x + 5.25 [tex]\leq[/tex] 165

Now, solve for x:

17.75x + 5.25 [tex]\leq[/tex] 165

17.75x [tex]\leq[/tex] 159.75

x [tex]\leq[/tex] 9

So, x [tex]\leq[/tex] 9 is the answer, meaning 9 people or less can go to the amusement park.
