They will make more money if they raise the price to $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

If they charge 10 dollars, 7 people will park on their lawn and they will make 10 x 7 = 70 dollars. If they charge 15 dollars, 5 people will park on their lawn and they will make 15 x 5 = 75 dollars

Since this doesn't affect their costs, we can conclude that they will make more money raising the price to $15.
