Answer:

A)

Adventureland.

B)

Coaster City

C)

5 People

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of Adventureland for p people is:

[tex]A=20+9p[/tex]

And the cost of Coaster City for p people is:

[tex]C=40+5p[/tex]

Part A)

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

[tex]20 + 9(4) = \$ 56[/tex]

And the cost for Coaster City is:

[tex]40+5(4)=\$60[/tex]

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:

[tex]20 + 9(7) = \$ 83[/tex]

And the cost to Coaster City is:

[tex]40+5(7)=\$ 75[/tex]

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:

[tex]20+9p=40+5p[/tex]

Solve for p. Subtracting 20 from both sides yields:

[tex]9p=20+5p[/tex]

And subtracting 5p from both sides yields:

[tex]4p=20[/tex]

And dividing both sides by 4:  

[tex]p=5[/tex]

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