Answer:

They can stay 16 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

3500 - 987 = 2,513

2,513 divided by 150 = 16.7

*They can't stay 16.7 days, so you have to round down. Rounding up will go out of their budget.*

Checking answer:

16 x 150 = 2,400

2,400 + 987 = $3,387

- I'm sure this isn't how your teacher wants you to solve it but this is just how I solved it, I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: 987 + 150x = 3500

x represents the number of days the family is staying at the park.

Solve.

Subtract 987 from both sides:

[tex]150x = 2513[/tex]

Divide each side by 150:

[tex]x= 16.75[/tex]

16.75 is decreased to 16, it's impossible to stay for 16.75 days.

The family can stay in the park for 16 days.
