$420

Step-by-step explanation:

number of people = 5 (4 friends + serena)

number of cars = 2

cost of parking = 7 for each car = 7 * number of cars = 7 * 2 = 14

let t be the cost of each ticket

cost of tickets = t for each person = t * 5

total cost = cost of parking + cost of tickets

= 14 + t * 5

= 2114

2114 = 14 + 5t

subtract 14 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

2100 = 5t

divide both sides by 5 to isolate t

t = 2100/5 = 420
