Q. Samir and Ben are planning a day trip with their friends. Samir wants to go to a waterpark that charges $40\$40 per person for admission, plus $5\$5 per person for tube rentals. Ben wants to go to a rock-climbing gym that charges $150\$150 to rent the facility, plus an additional $20\$20 per person.\newlineWhich equation can you use to find pp, the number of people who would need to go on the trip for the two options to cost the same?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 40p+5=150+20p40p + 5 = 150 + 20p\newline(B) 40p+5p=150+20p40p + 5p = 150 + 20p\newlineHow many people would need to go on the trip for the two options to cost the same?\newline___\_\_\_ people\newline
  1. Choose equation: Choose the correct equation to represent the problem. Compare the total costs for both options.\newlineWaterpark: 40p+5p40p + 5p (Incorrectly added the per person cost instead of tube rental cost)\newlineRock-climbing gym: 150+20p150 + 20p\newlineCorrect equation should be: 40p+5=150+20p40p + 5 = 150 + 20p
