Answer:

9 people

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount spent on tickets

318.5 - 17 = 301.5

If 301.5 was for tickets alone, the number of tickets can buy

301.5/33.5 = 9
  • Parking cost is fixed ($17). So it's y intercept
  • Slope=$33.5

Now

our equation is

  • y=33.5x+17

No of persons=x

  • 318.5=33.5x+17
  • 33.5x=301.5
  • x=9people
