The number of tickets that should be purchased for the cost of both carnival to be equal is 10 tickets.

Assume the number of tickets to be purchased is x.

The expression for the total cost at Carnival M is:

= Entrance fee + (price of tickets x number of tickets)

= 5 + 0.50x

The expression for the total cost at Carnival P is:

= 7 + 0.30x

To find the number of tickers, equate both expressions:

5 + 0.50x = 7 + 0.30x

0.50x - 0.30x = 7 - 5

0.20x = 2

x = 2 / 0.20

= 10 tickets

10 tickets will need to be bought to both Carnivals for the cost to be the same.
