A.15x+150>400;17 people
B. 15x+150<400;16 people
C. 15x<400;26 people
D. 15x+150<400 ; 50/3 people

Answer 1

For x people, if it costs 15 dollars per person, it would cost 15*x or simply 15x. There is a flat 150 dollar fee so add 150 to that. She only has 400 dollars so this sum must be less than 400. Set up the inequality and solve for x. If you get a non integer, make sure to round down since we’re dealing with whole numbers of people.

Answer 2
