Respuesta :
5 + 0.50p = 6.50
0.50p = 6.50 - 5
0.50p = 1.50
p = 1.50/0.50
p = 3 <=== the vehicle had 3 people in the vehicle
0.50p = 6.50 - 5
0.50p = 1.50
p = 1.50/0.50
p = 3 <=== the vehicle had 3 people in the vehicle
Answer:
3 people were in the vehicle.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost to ride on a ferry = $5.00 per vehicle and driver
an additional cost per passenger = 50 cents
50 cents = $0.50
The total charge to get on the ferry is $6.50.
To calculate the number of people in the vehicle, we subtract $5.00 from the total charge
$6.50 - $5.00 = $1.50
If per passenger cost is $0.50
$1.50 cost for the passenger = 1.50 ÷ 0.50 = 3 passenger
3 people were in the vehicle.
