Question

PLEASE HELP!!! WILL REWARD MEDAL/FAN!!

The Downtown Community Center does not charge a rental fee as long as a rentee orders a minimum of $5,000 worth of food from the center. Antonio is planning a banquet for the Quarterback Club. If he is expecting at least 225 people to attend, what is the minimum he will have to spend on food per person?

Thank you!~

Answer 1

\[5000\div225 = \]

Answer 2

"per" when used in a word problem means "divided by". So, we want to know food per person, which is the same as saying we want to know food/person(or food cost, per person, in this case).

Assuming Antonio is going to buy $5,000 worth of food, you just plug the numbers into what you want to know.

So $5000(food cost)/225(people) to get $22.2

Answer 4

Answer 5

XD

Answer 6

Correct, but money only goes to 2 decimal places, so you round it to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 7

there is an inequality in this problem.

Answer 8

lol yeah i know.

Answer 9

If there is, then you haven't given enough information.

Answer 10

Is it 225>5,000? The inequality, I meant.

Answer 11

225x>5,000******

Answer 12

Ahh, right; the minimum. That should be a variable, then. M>5000/225; or your inequality. Either way, $22.22 is the correct value; you can just state it a different way. You could also say that he will expect to spend somewhere between [$22.22, infinity] dollars, in interval notation(though I doubt Antonio wants to spend infinity dollars for his little gathering;)
