+15%2A42+=+630+ = total fan spent on parking for season
+1932+-+630+=+1302+ = amount spent on tickets
+1302%2F42+=+31+ = price /ticket
The equation is:
+42p+%2B+630+=+1932+
-----------------------
For +10+ tickests @ $31/ticket,
+10%2A31+=+310+
The friend spent $310
----------------------
Let +A+ = amount friend paid
+A+=+10p+
