10 friends got into the fair

Step-by-step explanation:

If county fair cost is $2.5 per person

$10 to catch a trolley

total cost = $35

Total county fair cost = total cost - trolley cost

= $35 - $10

= $25

So if $25 was spent on county fair, then the number of friends that went is

$25/$2.5 = 10

That is total cost divided by cost per person gives number of persons
