7 people
Start with $160. and subtract $12 for parking because you have to pay that no matter how many people you buy tickets for.
160-12=148
Now you can see how many tickets you can buy with $148 by dividing by the price of the ticket which is $20.50
148/20.5=7.21951219512
You can buy 7 tickets
if you do the math, there is $4.50 leftover
