A drive-in theater costs $20 per car, plus an additional fee of $4 per person. The cost, C, of the movie when p people are in the car can be represented by this equation: C = 20 + 4p Solve the equation for p to show How many people were in the car when the movie costed C dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

cost  per drive= $20

additional fee per person= $4

let the number of persons be p

and the total cost be C

The total cost function is expressed as

Step two:

Required:

We want to make P subject of the cost function

Take 20 to the other side we have

C-20=4p

divide through by 4

P=C-20/4

simplify

P=C/4-5

$8

step-by-step explanation:

it is pretty much backwards.

you take the 4x2 multiply that, and that is = $8
