Q:

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer: t = 59 Step-by-step explanation:Profit made by the amusement park is given by the equation Profit = 34(t-52) + 15.                        where,  t is the number of tickets sold.Given, Total profit made by the park is equal to $238.13.Equating the profit with the equation,We get,  34(t-52) + 15 = 238.13               34(t - 52)  = 223.13                   t - 52 = 6.56                    t = 58.56Rounding off the number of tickets sold we get t = 59 .
