Admission to a park is x dollars per person for the first 3 people in a group and y dollars per person for each additional person.
write a formula for the total cost c when the number of people in a group p
is more than 3

3x would be the cost for the first three people.

ny would be the cost of the rest, for which n would be the number of people in the group minus three, because three people are already paid for.

There are p people in the group, so ny becomes (p-3)y.

Add those prices together to get the total price for one group.
