<PRE><B>Question 949500</B>
a family went to a baseball game. they parked the car in a parking lot which charged $5. the cost per ticket was $24.
---------------------------
write an equation for the total cost of going to the baseball game, where y is the total cost and x is the total number of people. 
c(x) = 5 + 24x where x is the number in the family.
---------------------

if the family spent $125, how many people went to the game?
Solve:
125 = 5 + 24x
120 = 24x
x = 5 (# in the family)
